on another list I am on was just wishing states other than MO made<BR>thier
vital records available the same way and I had to put in my two-bits<BR>and
since Stephanie posted that helpful note I thought I would also list
the<BR>resources here;<BR><BR>It is interesting how differently each state
interprets their responsibility<BR>and so forth with respect to what they make
available; Arizona has a search<BR>engine that works quite well and allows
access to "selected" birth marriage<BR>and death records. If you get lucky and
the person you want is there, you<BR>can get a pdf of the origanal image. as
with all of these it is restricted<BR>by what the state budget allows and your
person might or might not be there.<BR>Or maybe their record just doesn't
exist.<BR><BR>Missouri as you say has a lot of stuff online, but birth pre
1917 or some<BR>such is just an index, again they make selected records
available as<BR>downloads, but I believe only death as downloads. and no
marriage?<BR><BR>wisconsin has a pre 1907 index that is just incredible, you
get the citation<BR>of where the original record is page book etc, the date of
the event and<BR>full name as it appears in the record, Illinois has a very
good set up for<BR>death records and pre 1916 marriage, but no birth or any
thing else.<BR>Michigan has a limited death index that provides you with
image, but lord<BR>help you trying to figure out how to restrict your search;
there are pull<BR>downs that give way too many options, but in them are things
like "surname<BR>only'<BR>Washington has a very comprehensive index and
provides a lot of marriage<BR>originals and some other originals including
selected censuses, but again<BR>like all of them it is imcomplete (as far as I
know none of these are even<BR>close to "complete")<BR>Oregon state archives
has an index that gives you bare bones info,<BR>Off the top of my head those
are the only "state" indexes or online record<BR>sources I know of, I am sure
there are more in states I haven't worked in,<BR>and there are lots of other
indexes and resources for selected places.<BR><BR>People ask me why I don't
have an ancestry account. I figure at my current<BR>rate of progress I will
only be twice as far behind in assimilating the free<BR>stuff in ten years as
I am now.<BR>There is a BYU resource called Western States Data Base or some
such that<BR>gives access to Idaho death and marriage indexes to, as well as
selected<BR>marraiges from other western states.<BR><BR><BR>THose who have
been paying attention to my ongoing pursuit of the various<BR>lines I often
bring in here even though they aren't strictly speaking<BR>"Oregon" questions
will note that most of the migratory path Dale mentioned<BR>earlier is covered
by these states. Most of the states that are not listed<BR>above are places
that don't appear in my family file. Probably the only<BR>important exceptions
to that are NY, PA, CT and MA, none of whom seem to<BR>have any online indexes
or any other state provided genealogical resources.<BR><BR>Les
