If your roots are in Arkansas, here's a valuable new source compiled by Desmond Walls Allen to help with your research: death certificates!
The State of Arkansas began keeping death records in February, 1914, and these index volumes, taken from Health Department records, are to those records that have the potential to be very helpful to your search for those elusive Arkansas ancestors. These indexes show the deceased person's name, date of death, and the county from which the death was reported. Unfortunately, they don't show all the deaths which occurred in Arkansas, only the ones reported to the state.
These indexes are arranged two ways--statewide and in regional volumes. This makes the information more affordable and tailored to your needs. The data are the same in the statewide and regional volumes, only the arrangement and selection are different.
Arkansas Death Record Index, 1914-1923
ISBN 1-56546-289-0 (Second Edition)
572 pages, $65.00

Arkansas Death Record Index, 1934-1940
ISBN 1-56546-086-3

The volume for 1941-1948 lists age, race, and sex, in addition to the death date and county. Regional volumes for this time period are also available (see below).
One of the biggest values of these indexes is looking up collateral relatives, those great aunt and uncles and cousins, who may seem like fallen leaves off the family tree, but whose information can be helpful to you. A death record for some third cousin, twice removed may lead you to a family cemetery where generations of your family are buried.
Previously, to find out if a certificate was on file for a particular person, you had to pay your money and take your chances. The Health Department keeps your money as a search fee if no record is found. Now, with these valuable indexes, you'll know what's available before you order certificates.
For those of you who don't need an entire state-wide volume, we've taken the same information and divided it into regional volumes containing the same information. See the three time periods below:
