Fantastic Find: Oklahoma School Records Available at FamilySearch


Elvin Worden, my 2nd 3xs removed cousin on my mom's side, went to school in Arnett, Ellis County, Oklahoma, in 1934.


Elvin's record in context of the entire record.  He is one of two of E. B. Worden (Earl Byron Worden)'s kids. Elvin's sister Verna is also listed.  This information is consistent with other records I have already found on them.  "Oklahoma, School Records, 1895-1936," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSM9-F3ZQ-C?cc=1926701&wc=QX9C-HNL%3A1590390017%2C1590390574 : 3 February 2017), Ellis > School census, District 1-113, 1931-1934 > image 3245 of 3312; Woodward county records indexed by Northwest Oklahoma Genealogical Society; citing various county offices, various Oklahoma school district offices and Cimarron Heritage Center, Boise City.

In the past I found Oklahoma records online to be quite scarce, but the state's been catching up.  Ancestry recently released an Oklahoma Marriage record set, and now I stumbled up on Oklahoma school records, which provide birth dates and some relationship leads.
