The indexes are available at the NC Archives, Vital Records, and perhaps other places from 1913 to mid 1950's. These are not online. Since Ancestry is not a free source, you might contact them to request that they make the index for earlier years than 1968 available. -----Original Message----- From: JD Lail <[email protected]> Sent: May 9, 2005 5:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [NCLINCOLN] Question about NC Death Records I am curious about the indexes to North Carolina's Death Certificates. I have found the indexes for 1968-1996 at Ancestry.com but nothing earlier. I am sure there is a reason why this is so but I have never heard it. Would some kind soul tell me why these really useful indexes are not available? Thanks Don Lail __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!
