I'm looking for where my Gr. Grandfather died. His name was Harm Christians. I found a census record for the family in 1900 at Walnut Township, Iowa. Harm was born in Germany and came to the U.S. with his wife in 1895. Her name was Hendreka.They settled in Iowa. In the 1900 census it says that his Naturalization was pending. We checked with the county where Walnut is at and they have no record of his death. The next place we know the family was at is Sibley Ia. We know that Harm died some where between 1900 and 1905. He died first, Hendrika gave up all 6 boys to different familys in Sibley then got remarried. She died in 1905. We would like to find out if his Naturalization ever went through and where he was when he died, or even what he died from.Also Sibley has no record of his death. Mn. historical society has the ability to look for death Cert. on the web. All you get is the roll # and the Certifacate # But I need help with this one. I can't seem to locate him anywhere. Or if Iowa has the ability to look up death cert. numbers could some one please direct me on how to do that so I can send for a copy. This would make me, My 72 yr. old father and an 80 yr. old aunt very happy if we could find this Info.
