I realize most of us on the Oklahoma site research only in southern states however, every Index that comes online I feel is vital and useful to someone - someday. I received this through another list. The time period covered in the death index is January 1, 1881 through October 31, 2005, with monthly updates. The website is maintained by the North Dakota Department of Health's Division of Vital Statistics. Many early deaths were not recorded, and there are very few deaths listed in the index prior to 1900. The death index website's address is https://secure.apps.state.nd.us/doh/certificates/deathCertSearch.htm . The website is the result of an 18-month project by a committee composed of staff from the State Historical Society of North Dakota, the North Dakota State Genealogical Society (NDSGS) and the North Dakota Department of Health's Division of Vital Statistics.

Looking for Denny L Wright (or DL Wright), born 1867 in OH, 1880 census in Washington CO, OH at 13 with parents. 1890 census lost to fire, 1900 census his parents and a few siblings are in Pleasants Co, WV. In his father's obit in 1921,he is listed as being in OK. Since Pleasants CO WV was an oil producing area (many there worked for Eureka Pipeline), I'm guessing he moved onto OK for work in the oil fields??? Father Josiah, mother Adaline. Any info on Denny is greatly appreciated Brandon __________________________________ Yahoo! FareChase: Search multiple travel sites in one click. http://farechase.yahoo.com
