Utah Vital Records
Vital records, as their name
suggests, are connected with central life events: birth, marriage, and
death. Maintained by civil authorities, they are prime sources of
genealogical information; but, unfortunately, official vital records are
available only for relatively recent periods. These records, despite their
recent creation in the United States, are critically important in
genealogical research, often supplying details on family members well back
into the nineteenth century.
