Hi Nancy & all,
I purchased the IN Vit Records: Death Index as described below when it came
out several years ago. The back cover states: "This CD-ROM indexes 867,132
Death records in the state of Indiana from 1800-1941... from 68 counties in
IN."
I did a sort for date and it is true. There are three deaths listed in 1800;
one person listed in 1941. There are many also listed with no name or year
and only an age and county and source. This is a good CD and a big help,
but know your ancestor may have died in Indiana and not be listed here.
There are 92 counties now, so your odds searching are good, but not perfect.
Not everyone in every county is listed and some got missed. (I know for a
fact some of my ancestors are not on this CD and died in Marion county in
years where others also died in Marion county. I have searched every way
and they are not to be found.)
I hope this helps.
Marcia

Hi Pam:
I would be interested in knowing where you got the 1941 date because I
would
like to purchase that CD if its available at a reasonable price. On the
CD
I have and the books at the Indiana State Library, deaths in Marion
County
were released to the public from 1882-1920.

I don't know the accuracy of this range of years
This is from an Ancestry review I found online, from 2001
The Indiana Vital Records on CD-ROM requires Windows 95, 98, Me, NT or
Windows 2000. These CD-ROM disks also require a 100-megahertz or faster
Pentium
processor, at least 16 megabytes of RAM memory, and 4-speed or faster CD-ROM
drive.
Heritage Quest has a winner in these CD-ROM disks. They contain
high-quality
genealogy information: extracted indexes of original vital records. They are
a bit expensive, however:
• Indiana Vital Records Birth Index, 1850-1920 - $39.95
• Indiana Vital Records Marriage Index, 1850-1920 - $69.95
• Indiana Vital Records Death Index, 1800-1941 - $29.95
The above prices do not include shipping or taxes. Members of the Heritage
Quest Research Club can deduct 10% from the above prices.
To obtain more information about the Heritage Quest Indiana Vital Records
on
CD-ROM, or to order them online via the company’s secure Web order form,
go

I tried to get to Heritage Quest but it didn't list these for Indiana. Just
up to 1920.
