Vital Records Research
We
specialize in researching Texas vital records. If you have a ancestor
that was born, married, divorced, or died in the state of Texas, we can help
you in your research.
The
cost is very small. Have some
dates you need to plug into your genealogy program? How about a family
member that have never received a birth vital record, but had the vital records
recorded! What have you got to lose.
What are indexes?
Birth index records, marriage index records, divorce index records, and death index
records are not
the actual certificates. They only point to the vital records where by copies
can be made by contacting the Texas Health Department. The information that
is on them includes the person's name, county where event occurred and the
event date. Some index records list the file number, the husband and wife's name,
and gender. With the file number, you can order a copy of the actual
vital record from the
Texas Department of Health or the county court house
in which the event occurred.
What about a certificate!
Our research searches
the index records and extract the information that pertains to that particular
index and email this information to you. If you want to research further after receiving the
information in the index, you can send for a certified copy
of the actual certificate by contacting the
Texas Department of Health.
We are not associated with or
affiliated with the
Texas Health Department. If you need a certificate of any
kind, please contact them.

How
can Texas Vital Records help you in your research?
Whether you are using a note book or computer
program to enter your family information, all dates assign to an individual
has to point to a source document. This is how you qualify your family
group chart or pedigree.
I would highly recommend using someone's
genealogy program to maintain the information that is gather. Some are
simple to use, other are very complex. I have found that there are no
bad genealogy programs. It all depends on how much time and effort you
are willing to spend on the program and whether it fits the type of research
that you are doing.
