This may be an interesting citation issue. In a family's private papers is an original death certificate issued in 1964 by the state (La.) but through the parish (Caddo). In the intervening years, those records have been moved to the Louisiana State Archives in Baton Rouge. I have a photocopy, but I have seen the original. My goal with the citation is two-fold: 1. to show my consultation of the original record (and thus lend credibility to any proof argument); and 2. to point a future researcher to the repository where the record can be found (not digitized at Ancestry or FamilySearch.
