The Statewide Index to Tennessee Death Records, now in its beginning stages, is a long-term project to index Tennessee death records for the years 1914 on. The index will eventually replace the Partial Index to Tennessee Death Records 1914-1925, which covers only thirty-seven counties in Tennessee, and does not include children under two years of age. When the index to a new year is available, a message will be posted under "News and Site Updates" on the History and Genealogy homepage.
A sample death certificate from this time period is available for viewing on our web site.
The index lists name of deceased, county of death, and volume and page number of the certificate. When ordering a death record from this index, please include this information.
When using this index, please keep the following in mind:
- Check for alternate spellings of the surname. Handwriting is not always legible and could be misread. Spelling variations are common. A surname such as Hale might be spelled Hale, Hayle or Hail; a surname such as Dickson might be spelled Dickson, Dixon, or Dixson.
- Check for alternate spellings of the first name. The name William A. Smith may be listed as Smith, William or Smith, Will or Smith, Wm. or Smith, Bill or Smith, W. or Smith, W.A. The first name may have an abbreviation that is not in current usage, such as Jas. for the name James.
- Some records did not include the given name of the deceased. These records are listed at the beginning of each surname, such as Williams, (blank) or King, (unknown) .
- Many death records for young children did not list a first name for the child. These listings appear in the index as Smith, Infant of or Jones, Infant of John. There are also listings for older children, such as White, Son of John or Case, Child of Henry.
- Death certificates for some married women are listed under the name of the husband, such as Adams, James (Mrs) .
- Titles relating to occupation will be listed after the first name of the individual: Johnson, Martin (Rev.) or Hibbert, John (Dr.) or Blake, Charles (Maj.).
- If the individual died out of state, there will not be a death certificate issued in Tennessee, even if the body was returned here for burial.
- Death certificates during this time period were filled out by funeral directors. If the deceased was buried in a family cemetery and no funeral home was involved, there will not be a death certificate on file in Tennessee.
- There are some death records for individuals who could not be identified ("unknown white male, in late 40s"). These are not included in this index.
PLEASE NOTE: The death index is made up of large files. Slower modems many take 45 - 60 seconds for the page to load completely.
