DOUGLAS COUNTY, NEVADA VITAL RECORDS, 1862-1923

Douglas County is located in west central Nevada. To the north is Carson
City;
Lyon County is to the east, and California is to the west and south.
Douglas
County includes the towns of Genoa, Minden, and Gardnerville (these
three towns
plus the surrounding land encompass Carson Valley). Carson Valley is one
of
Nevada's first settled areas and includes the state's first permanent
settlement, Genoa. Since Douglas County was primarily a ranching
community, the
area was much less transient than those counties whose chief industry
was
mining. Many of the families found in these records still have
descendants
living on the same ranches and in the same towns that were inhabited by
these
early Nevadans more than 100 years ago. This database contains birth
records
from 1885 to 1900, marriage records from 1862 to 1919, and death records
from
1887 to 1923.

Source Information: Robinson, Doreen, comp. "Douglas County, Nevada
Vital
Records, 1862-1923." [database online] Provo, UT: Ancestry.com, 2000-.

Original Data: Microfilmed Douglas County birth, death, and marriage
records
located at the Douglas County Library in Minden, Nevada and the Nevada
