North Dakota Death Index. The index supplies the
individual's full name, date of birth (if known), date of death,
county of residence and county of death. It supplements the
Publication, North Dakota Necrology, 1920-1926, and the
obituary and death notices found in the newspaper abstract file
in the State Archives and Historical Research Library (SAHRL) at
the North Dakota Heritage Center in Bismarck. The time period
covered in the death index is January 1, 1881 through October
31, 2005, with monthly updates. The site is maintained by the ND
Department of Health's Division of Vital Statistics. Many early
deaths were not recorded, and there are very few deaths listed
in the index prior to 1900.
