Vital Signs
By Rick Crume

Has your search for online birth, death and marriage records flatlined? Re-energize your efforts with this essential five-step guide.

Family historians live and die by vital records. The key family tree details in birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates breathe new life into your research. But to get them from government agencies, you have to deal with bureaucratic red tape—which can kill your genealogical momentum. And though vital records have joined the parade of family tree documents marching onto the Web, they're not always easy to find. Just as fees and access policies vary from state to state, so does online availability.


To read our complete five-step guide to finding vital records, see the June 2005 Family Tree Magazine.
