Jean and Edward Putam death certificates
« on: Thursday 11 April 13 07:22 BST (UK) »
Hi, I want to get copies of the death certificates of Edward Frederick Putnam born 1910, who died on the 3rd Feb 1989 and his wife Jean McIntosh Putnam nee Stanners born 1913,Sydney Australia, who died in 1993.
Both died in Volusia ,Florida.
Jean Putnam was my grandfathers 1/2 sister..(long lost)
I am in Australia and I need to find out who to apply to,the address and possibley the cost involved.
Any contact with other Putnam family members would be a huge bonus
Advice always appreciated.
Cheers
Kasden

This is the link for Volusia County
http://www.doh.state.fl.us/chd/volusia/VitalStatistics.html

However it's only for Death certificates from 2003 onwards.
Prior to 2003, you are directed to this link:

http://www.doh.state.fl.us/planning_eval/vital_statistics/deaths.htm

As is the case with many US states with strict privacy laws, it is unlilkey you'll be able to obtain the death certificates, though.

You may have more luck trying to locate an Obituary for them.

From that second site: 
Quote
In Florida, anyone may order a Florida Death Certificate "Without cause of death".


So sounds like you will be able to order it, but without a cause of death on it.
