Jefferson County, MS Birth, Death, Marriage, Divorce Records

Jefferson County, which has the unenviable distinction of being the most overweight county in the United States, maintains its property records with the Chancery Clerk and its marriage, birth, and death records with the State Health Department's Vital Records Department, which provides all necessary information online, such as applications, fee schedules, etc. The Chancery Clerk, located at 1483 Main Street in Fayette, MS, provides certified copies of records via its office, while the Vital Records Department through the Health Department offers a variety of options to obtain them: individuals can purchase them with a credit card online or over the phone at 601-576-7981, or by paying with a check or money order through the mail or in person. The MSGenWeb Project has a Jefferson County Branch which has a huge amount of historical records and genealogical information on its website, as well, all of it open to the public for free.
