Film Guide  by Year:  1882-1889  | 1890-1893  | 1894-1896  | 1897-1899  |  1900-1902  | 1903-1904  | 1905-1908

The roll order chart below is for researchers using the St. Louis City [Mo.] Burial Certificates microfilm set at a location other than St. Louis County Library's Special Collections Department. The certificates are not always arranged on the film rolls in perfect chronological order so, to facilitate the research process, the chart below shows how they are arranged. This chart is not needed by those using these films here in Special Collections because this roll order information appears on the side of each Burial Certificate film box for easy reference while viewing the film.

Links above and below the chart provide navigation for the web pages relating to this resource. If in doubt of where to start, go to the Introduction and work your way through the suggested steps for using these films.
