Index of Florida County Records on Microfiche
Florida Vital Statistics Index is available at many libraries throughout
Florida. Please understand that this is just an index to original documents
located at the Florida State Vital Records
Office in Jacksonville. Unfortunately, many microfiche are missing from the
library's collections due to the Vital Records office not able to supply
complete sets. Repeated efforts have been made to correct this situation, but
no response has been received from their office. Currently the indexes cover
the following records:
Marriages 1927-2002
Divorces 1927-2002
Deaths 1887-2002
To learn about the background of vital records in Florida, go to the
Florida Department of Health website. It explains about the fire of 1901
and why some records might not be available.
Also, it is advisable to not rely on the state office as the only resource.
Often the local courthouse will have other records that have not been filmed
especially prior to 1900. Contact:
When requesting a copy of the INDEX by mail from one of the libraries listed
