Here are the film Nos. for the DC Death Index: 1994618 1874-1882 1994619 1882-1900 1994620 1900-1916 1994621 1916-1921 2020341 1930-1943 2020342 1944-1949 So much has been written on this site about the DC Archives I can't imagine anyone on this list not being aware of it. Anyway, it has some of the original vital record documents such as birth certificates (1874-1921?), death certificates (1874-1934) and marriage license applications.
