Douglas County, Nevada Vital Records, 1862-1923

Description (from source site)
Douglas County is located in west central part of Nevada. To the north is Carson City; Lyon County is to the east and the State of California to the west and south. The Sierra Nevada Mountains border the Carson Valley to the west. Douglas County includes the towns of Genoa, Minden and Gardnerville (these three towns plus the surrounding land encompass "Carson Valley"). The Carson Valley is one of Nevada's first settled areas and includes this state's first permanent settlement, Genoa. This book contains birth, marriage and death records for Douglas County for many of the county's earliest families. Since Douglas County was primarily a ranching community, the area was much less transient than those counties whose chief source of 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 over 100 years ago. This database contains birth records from 1885 - 1900, marriage records from 1862 - 1919, and death records from 1887 - 1923.
