Bücher von South King County Genealogical Society

This book provides the reader access to more than 20,000 death records, and is the result of six years of work by volunteers of the South King County Genealogical Society. Information contained in this book has been extracted from microfilmed records of the Seattle-King County (Washington) Health Department, and are not confined to deaths which occurred in Seattle but also include many deaths in outlying areas of King County. These extractions are alphabetically arranged by surname of the deceased, and list: set, reel, page and record number; full name of the deceased, date of death, age, sex, place of birth, and place of death. At the beginning of the book is a list of dozens of towns and a number of hospitals mentioned in the records, explaining their locations and other facts about them.

Anyone doing research on King County will be interested in this compilation of approximately 20,000 pre-1907 death records. The state of Washington did not require counties to record deaths until 1907. Information contained in this book has been extracted from records of the Seattle-King County (Washington) Health Department, covering the period August 2, 1891 to May 29, 1907. An index to cities and towns of King County; a map of King County, Washington; place names; institutions; and sources precede the King County Death Records Index. Index entries are arranged alphabetically by surname and each entry contains some or all of the following: location of the record on the original microfilm, name of the deceased, date of death, age, sex, place of death, and place of birth.
