www.WorldVitalRecords.com is now live!
We were able to roll the content and feature set from our development server to the http://www.worldvitalrecords.com/ site.
This initial site has 3 vital record indexes to start with: Social Security Death Index, Maine Death Records, and Louisiana Slave Index. Total, these indexes represent about 77 million names. The "global search" page returns the results from each index listed in alphabetical order.
On the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) results page, the vital records for each person is displayed: Name, Birth Date, Death Date, Issuing State, residence at Death, and Social Security Number. There are also links to see 'Neighbors' which are people who died in the same zip code near the same time. There is a link to generate a SS5 letter and down load the GEDCOM file for this person.
As a demonstration of the web 2.0 technologies that we are implementing, there is a Google map of the location of the Death Residence. This map is zoomable and scrollable as well as being able to display both the road and geographic boundaries and satellite images. Clicking on the 'Hybrid' button super imposes the map data onto the satellite image. This is the first of many value added features that we are working on for improving the display of vital records.
