If so, I should use them for this because the one on Family Search is not searchable.&lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, and searchable. I got the info in message #37 including the pic of the microfiche and info in message #45 from NEHGS Vermont Births/Marriages/Deaths database.

These records are currently held by the <a href="http://vermont-archives.org/certifications/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://vermont-archives.org/certifications/" rel="nofollow">Vermont State Archives and Records Administration</a>. The collection includes more than 1.5 million birth records, more than 1.8 million marriage records, and more than 1 million death records. Names of parents and spouses have also been indexed, when available.</p><p><br /></p><p>The records held in this collection refer to the statewide index of vital records maintained by the Vermont State Archives. Town clerks were required to send copies of vital records to the state beginning in 1857. The state government began creating a statewide index to these records in 1919. The original vital records are still held at town level. It may be possible to obtain a copy of the original record by contacting the corresponding town clerk&#039;s office.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the search webpage for all or any of the databases, if you click &quot;Advance Search +&quot; you can specifically select a database, etc.</p><p><a href="http://www.americanancestors.org/search/advanced-search" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.americanancestors.org/search/advanced-search" rel="nofollow">http://www.americanancestors.org/search/advanced-search</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are 9 pages of the databases accessible online:</p><p><a href="http://www.americanancestors.org/browse-database/?page=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.americanancestors.org/browse-database/?page=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.americanancestors.org/browse-database/?page=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There are 3 dbs specifically for Vermont:</p><p>Vermont Births, Marriages and Deaths to 2008</p><p>Vermont Soldiers in WWI</p><p>Vermont: Miscellaneous Censuses and Substitutes, 1778-1822,1840</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
