M*CH*MORE One Name Study
NORTH AMERICAN VITAL STATISTICS
Records of North American births, marriages and deaths are scattered and therefore rather difficult to access. A variety of data have been collected:
- Civil registrations of births, marriages, divorces and deaths
- Newspaper announcements of births, marriages, engagements and deaths
- Data on US deaths from the US Social Security Deaths Index
- Memorial inscriptions (cemetery headstones)
- A few records from church registers
