Is there a website that you can view North Carolina marriage licenses and death records or obituaries?

without paying for them.....Is there a website that you can view North Carolina marriage licenses and death records or obituaries?
Two things affect what you are asking..


One, if you are talking about historical records (for ancestry).. many of those are posted in free locations. You normally need to focus on the likely county. www.usgenweb.com is a free network of county sites.


Second.. if you want recent records.. there is a difference between death records, obits, and marriages. The 2nd involves living persons. Yes, they are public records. No, that does not mean they are always online. The social security death index has data for deaths from about the 1960s to now. You can use the advanced search to narrow a name to one state or even county (if they died elsewhere, ie the major hospital in a big town instead of home, it can show up that way).


For a general commentary, no.. there is not a central location to find any kind of record. IF you are more specific, what you want is OFTEN out there. Focus what you are looking for.Is there a website that you can view North Carolina marriage licenses and death records or obituaries?
I'm going to give you the following link:

This page has several links... some are free others are not. As you can see, there are several things available on Ancestry.com. Ancestry does require a subscription; however, there are a couple of ways to work around this.





1) Check your local library. Most libraries have a subscription to Ancestry available for their patrons use. You can go to your library and hunt and peck until your heart's content.


OR


2) If there is a particular person you are looking for that you think may appear in these indexes, you can try to post a specific question to Y!A. There are a lot of people here who have memberships that would be happy to look up death records for you.





Both options are absolutely free!! Also, never underestimate the individual county's Genweb page. Also check this out.
