<h3> Death Records </h3>
=== Death Records===
<p>Death records are a great place to begin research for ancestors because of the wealth of information that may be found. Death registers or certificates will contain the name of the deceased, date and place of death, may contain cause of death and place of burial. They may also contain the age of the individual, birthdate and place, parents and place of their birth, marital status, spouse, and place of residence.

<h4> <b>County Records</b>  </h4>
===County Records===
<p>Although a few counties kept earlier records, most counties began keeping ledger entries of births and deaths in 1898 to comply with a state law. County records to 1905 are kept in the county clerk's office. Since 1905 county birth and death records have been sent to the Bureau of Vital Records. Some of the local county health departments have retained copies of these records.
