West Virginia Births, 1853-1921
3.510.513 documenti
West Virginia birth records between 1853 and 1921 include the name of the infant, birthdate, birthplace, and often the names of the parents. Early records regularly have the year of birth only and later records will more commonly have full birthdates. The associated images in this collection should be examined to discover other information not present the index including possible additional information about the parents such as their ages and birthplaces. This index and images are provided by the West Virginia Division of Culture and History.<br><br>In Virginia / West Virginia births began to be universally reported to counties in 1853 with a few counties collecting birth records as early as the late 1700s and early 1800s. In 1917, the West Virginia Department of Health Vital Registration office began collecting the county reports of births and issuing official state birth certificates from that year through the present, as well as creating “delayed” birth records by affidavit. <br><br>The records in this collection were compiled by county in a few phases which results in some non-uniform year coverage due to changes in selection criteria and privacy regulations. Also gaps are present due to record loss.
