I first read about this project in the November/December 2020 issue of Family Tree Magazine. When I linked to the website at that time, there was no information. However, when I rechecked the site this week, it appears that there has been progress.
The website was created by FamilySearch International and the BYU record linking lab. They are using data from census records as well as death records to form the index. At the present time there is data from Alaska, California, Idaho, Utah, Iowa, Ohio, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Massachusetts and Delaware.
If you suspect one of your ancestors died during the Spanish Flu Pandemic, you might find this interesting. The index includes the full name, birth and death year and cause of death. When you click on a person's name, you are redirected to a FamilySearch Family Tree memory page for that person.
