New USA Vital Records Data Posted at FamilySearch.org

The following USA vital records databases have been added or updated at FamilySearch.org since I last blogged about the FamilySearch vital records just about 2 weeks ago. Note that most of the databases posted are digital images with waymarks to locate one’s ancestor. Numerous imaged databases also include indexes, so in many cases, it’s not difficult to find one’s ancestor, even if the data isn’t indexed as such.

I’ve also updated all five of the GenealogyBlog Online Database Links Files. See:

• United States Birth & Christening Records Found at FamilySearch.org
• United States Marriage Documents & Indexes Found at FamilySearch.org
• United States Death & Probate Records Found at FamilySearch.org
