More on -line death records from Joe Beine

The vast majority of records of interest to genealogists are not on line, and may never be. Few genealogical problems can be solved using only on-line resources. But there are always more places to get started using on-line indexes and images of original documents.

Joe Beine has updated his Online Searchable Death Indexes & Records site, including material for more than twenty Midwestern counties: three in Illinois (Champaign, DuPage, and St. Clair), eight in Indiana (Carroll, Cass, Elkhart, Howard, Marshall, St. Joseph, Starke, and Switzerland), three in Michigan (Berrien, Charlevoix, and Oakland), five in Ohio (Columbiana, Cuyahoga, Greene, Lake, and Wayne), and two in Wisconsin (Eau Claire and Portage).

More Midwestern death indexes!

Normally I'm not a big fan of blogs that post only every few weeks, but I make a big exception for Joe Beine's Genealogy Roots blog. Despite the generic title, its posts are always a wealth of information, usually updating various web sites, in this case the Online Searchable Death Indexes and Records Directory (bookmark it -- you'll be back). New items there include material from Illinois (Chicago-area Jewish cemeteries, and Lake County), Michigan (Allegan, Berrien, Cass, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Kalamazoo, Saginaw, and Van Buren counties), Ohio (Huron and Montgomery counties), and Wisconsin (Barron, Dunn, Fond du Lac, and Pepin counties).
