| |
| | |
| ==== '''Online Availability''' ====
| |
| | |
| Online vital record resources&nbsp;for Alabama usually consist of&nbsp;indexes to birth, marriage, death and divorce records. The internet can be a quick resource for locating the individual, with a date and place in an index.&nbsp; Record the information&nbsp;from the index then send for&nbsp;the original record&nbsp;where you can confirm for yourself the accuracy of the data. Just because it is in print, does not make it true. Indexes and compiled records&nbsp;have errors and if possible, original records should always be&nbsp;consulted. A growing number of digitized original records are being made available online, however, indexes are more plentiful. As a bonus, the original records&nbsp;usually have&nbsp;additional&nbsp;information about the person and those related to him/her.
