Since the same can be said, I assume, for birth records, does anyone have
any suggestions for a next step? I'm trying to locate my Great Grandfather,
Benjamin F. Potter's place of birth and find my GGGrandparents.
According to the San Francisco 1900 Census, my Great Grandfather was born
in Nevada in 1867 but I have no clue where in Nevada. The census also says
that his father and mother were born in England and Massachusettes,
respectively. So I went digging around all the Nevada counties for the
census' of 1870 and 1880 by looking through the idexes. I found nothing in
1870 and only one couple in 1880 whose place of birth matched the 1900
census but that doesn't necessarily mean anything especially when no
children are listed. The wife, Sarah, in this census was 28 which means she
would have been 15 when Benjamin was born. Not impossible. Without a birth
certificate I can't confirm or deny.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you much,
Virginia Southas

Sorry, no. The State of Nevada did not begin keeping records until 1911.
Prior to that they are at the county level, and while most counties have
good indexes, you still need to know which county.

Hello. Could someone tell me if there is centralized place to which
counties
report deaths (similar to the California Death Index)? If so, what
years
does
it cover and how could one access it? Thank you very much.
