NEW TOTAL: 142,905 entries

As of 1 July 2010, the Oklahoma Death Index to 1920 is now up to 142,905 entries! Considering I was hoping to hit 150,000 by the end of 2010, it looks like I may need to revise that to 175,000! I keep adding info from cemetery records/listings, funeral home records, obituaries, etc. So if you are looking for someone who died in Oklahoma prior to 1920, e-mail me and let me check for you. Results are only $1 per name.

132,557 entries

My Oklahoma Death Index is now up to 132,557 entries. I have added many more cemetery records, some probate records, a few funeral home records and some obits. My current plans are to continue entering records as available with the hope of adding 1000 per week. Initially my goal was for 150,000 by the end of 2010. And it looks like I'm on schedule!
My goal with this blog is now to post an article regarding records (availability, problems with, inferences when using, etc.) on Wednesdays and Saturdays. At the end of each month I'll post a running total for number of entries.
Until Wednesday....
