What are Vital Records?
Vital records include birth certificates, death certificates
and marriage records. They are records which document the birth,
marriage or death of a person and can be very beneficial in
genealogical research. Certified copies of vital records can
be used for many things such as verifying age, getting social
security benefits and in receiving death benefits from life
insurance policies. They are used widely in genealogy in verifying
dates and other information.
