I think they have yet to be processed. Only records 70 years old or older will be available once the processing is completed to preserve the privacy of living persons. As time passes additional records will be made accessible. The amount of information in the records varies but most often includes birth date and place; death date, place and burial site; cause of death; children; parents; siblings; military service; cost of the funeral and the name of the person who paid the bill with his or her address. Each volume has an index, but there is no overall index. The records begin in the late 1800s and continue through 2002.
