Description

This database contains the records of births, marriages and deaths to 2008, as filed with the state of Vermont. These records are currently held by the Vermont State Archives and Records Administration. 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.

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's office.

Pre-1871 Vermont birth records are not available online at this time [as of April 2014]; but, they will be added to our digital collections in the future. Records of births, marriages, and deaths that occurred in the past five years are located at the Vermont Vital Records Office.

Access to this database requires a membership to americanancestors.org. Most of these records are also available in the collection Source:Vermont, United States. Vital Records, 1760-1954 for free here.
