Benton County Vital Records
It is so important to a Family Historian to obtain Vital Records of their ancestors. These prove facts, which can either prove or disprove the family lores we've heard for most of our lives. These Vital Records give us the road map that can be filled in with other research to recreate our families history for future generations.
Below are some sites that explain how and where to obtain these records. I personally have not verified their information, but they are reputable sites and used by many USGenWeb county sites. I recommend that you use the information they give, but then make a telephone call to the recommended office to verify the information provided.
