Internet users everywhere can now view Hank Williams' death
certificate, Gov. Joe Manchin's marriage certificate or great-grandpa's
birth certificate through an upgraded online database of more than 5.7
million vital records in West Virginia, officials said Thursday.
Unlike most states, which provide only lists or indices of vital records online, West Virginia's database
also includes images of the original files, said Joe Geiger, director
of the West Virginia Division of Culture and History's Archives and
History Section.
West Virginia's searchable database also is free.
State officials started the online service four years ago by entering
records from Calhoun, Gilmer, Hardy, Harrison, Mineral and Pendleton
counties, said state archivist Debra Basham. Just recently, it
completed entering data from all 55 counties and upgraded its server to
increase by three times the speed with which users can access and
download information.
