Additional information
by South King County Genealogical Society (Author)
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.
