[QUOTE="donna723, post: 612104, member: 1883"] Annie, if you go back very far, there are no birth certificates like we have today. When I was searching for records on my grandparents generation, what comes up are handwritten entries in some type of log book kept by the city or county. And sometimes the handwriting is almost illegible. It usually has the date, the name of the baby, names of the parents, and their address. Since most babies were born at home, I guess it was up to the parents to have the birth recorded. [/QUOTE]
