Genealogy: Utah genealogy society Web site beneficial in search for records

By Tamie Dehler
Special to the Tribune-Star

If you have a relative or an ancestor who died in Utah, your search for a death record just got easier. The Genealogical Society of Utah, the Utah State Archives and Records Service, and FamilySearch have collaborated on a project to bring on-line viewing of Utah death certificates to the public. A searchable on-line index of more than 250,000 Utah deaths from 1905 through 1954 was created by the Utah Office of Vital Records and Statistics and FamilySearch provided the expertise to make images of the actual documents available for viewing.

The index and database is located at http://historyresearch.utah.gov/indexes/index.html and has the following searchable information: name of decedent, gender, place of death, and date of death. The search leads to a free digital image of the actual death certificate, which will contain much more information about the decedent, such as the “names and birth places of the deceased person’s parents, place and date of the decedent’s birth, marital status, occupation, permanent residence, place and date of burial, time of death, chief cause and contributory factors of death, and if applicable, where illness was contracted and the duration of the illness,” states Paul Nauta, public affairs manager for FamilySearch. This is a valuable new Web site worth checking out for anyone with a Utah connection.
