Wyoming Research Strategies[edit | edit source]

Below are links to different research strategy pages to help you locate your ancestors in Wyoming

Wyoming Research Tips[edit | edit source]

These tips will help you as you research your ancestors in Wyoming.

  • Birth information: Statewide registration of births began in 1909 in Wyoming with general compliance by 1922. A helpful substitute record to find birth information is a death record. However, date and place of birth on a death record is considered secondary information, as it was not recorded at the time of the birth event. The birth information should be corroborated with other substitute records to improve accuracy.
  • Finding Parents: State law required the recording of death certificates in 1909. They often will list the parents of the deceased and their birth information. Search Wyoming death records
  • Look in all censuses: Always look for your ancestor in every possible census. There are clues regarding immigration, naturalization, and occupation that can lead to other records. Sometimes parents can be found living with their children later in life. Search U.S. Censuses.
