Description
Transylvania County began keeping Death
Certificates in the latter part of 1913.
Volume one contains death certificates for 1913
through 1915. All subsequent years have a
specific volume for that year. In keeping
with this later pattern, this index for volume
one is divided into 1914 - with the few
certificates for 1913 included and 1915, with a
few certificates from 1914. The following
part of volume one breaks at a somewhat natural
change within the original book.
Adding to the date confusion, the original
books of death certificates is no longer
available after being water damaged as a result
of poor storage methods. The current set
of duplicate certificates have been rearranged
to reflect a more chronological order tat no
longer matches the page numbers listed in the
official index New page numbers have not
been added. This index continues to
use the original page numbers since they are
still used in the official index and it is
hoped that the original order will be
restored. The digital images will help
provide the information of the original
documents. Any users needed the official
copy are on their own in finding it.
The order and page numbers in the index list
below are from transcription notes of the
original book made by Linda Hoxit Raxter in
1998 prior to the damage to the original
book. The images were created by Linda
Anders using a digital camera. Beyond the
addition of an identifying caption in blue, no
alterations to these images have been made.
However, it is important to bear in mind
that it would be several years before all
families adopted the practice of registering
family deaths. In addition, many
certificates were incompletely or improperly
filled out. Accuracy and legibility vary
by township and their local registrars.
The following index list is not intended to
be used as a transcription of the Death
Certificates. Instead it is a finding aid
to locate the actual images of each death
certificate. Birth and death years only
are given to help in identifying an
individual. Complete dates, when
available, will be found on the image.
Frequently an exact birth year is not
listed. In these case an approximate year
is listed. Both parents are also listed
when available to aid in identifying an
individual.
Names in the index are frequently
standardized to facilitate searching with the
"Find" command. The original spelling can
then be viewed on the original certificate by
following the hyperlink. To use the find
feature with Microsoft Explorer use CTRL+F and
enter the surname.
Some certificates do not include names or
only have a partial name. In these cases
names may have been added to the Index.
These additions are indicated by
parenthesis. Some characters are
difficult if not impossible to read.
These are indicated with underlines.
Images were made from a set of
photoduplicated copies at the Transylvania
County Registrar of Deeds office. After
these certificates were duplicated, the
original was stored in the leaky courthouse
basement with other original vital records
where they sustained water
damage.
While this Internet access to the records is
convenient, it is also made through a new media
and instable national project. In
addition, these images are not archival quality
and should not be considered a substitute for
the original or for the necessity of
microfilming these records with a copy placed
in State Archives as a permanent backup to
prevent further loss of these documents.
