US Vital records
Over 13.6 million new Vital records have been added. These include birth certificates, death records, marriage licences, divorce decrees, naturalisation records and adoption records. Vital records were not widely kept in the United States until the early 20th century and are usually documented by a civil authority or local municipality. Local churches often provide the earliest instances of birth, marriage and death certificates well before mandatory government registration. See the list below, and search them here: US Vital records
