In addition, more collections were released for Brazil, Nicaragua, Spain, and the U.S. (Delaware, New Hampshire, and Virginia).

A year or so ago, Family Search had a pilot program in searching death certificates in Texas from about 1880 to about 1920+. I have not been able to locate it since. Can you help me? Also, when I click FamilySearch.org in your blog, I can’t access any new records you have mentioned. What can I do to get to the new Texas records?
Thank you. I enjoy your blog info.

Sandra,
Hmmm. I have no idea why your links didn’t work. There are over 4 million Texas death records imaged and posted at FamilySearch. See: https://www.familysearch.org/s/collection/show#uri=http://search-api:8080/searchapi/search/collection/1320964&hash=Mrd8SMocDIIen2Q83tu%252B82PRagg%253D
