How do I find a birth or death certificate... ?

You will NOT find a birth or death certificate for a person from Oklahoma dated before 1908.  Oklahoma did not become a State until November of 1907.  Commonly used items to verify a birth date are a Family Bible, Oklahoma Historical Society, U.S. Census, Daws Commission Rolls, Indian Nations legal documents, etc.  For those who were born or died after 1907, the Oklahoma State Department of Health will have these for a $5 or $10 fee.
