Deaths

St. Mary of the Angels uses a very detailed form for deaths so there are only two listed per page. That's the good news. But, most of the time, the form is not filled in completely. Worse than that, the handwriting is often very bad in Volume 1. Some mangled names were reconstructed from the birth index but that approach doesn't always work. Volume 2 of deaths starts on one microfilm and continues on another film. The links in the subscriber index will take you to the correct online collection for viewing the images.
