September Day Study Group Meeting
Monday, September 14, 2009
Vital Records: Births & Deaths
Vital records are an important group of records for the genealogist because they provide information about basic genealogical events-births, marriages and deaths. Unfortunately, there is no national system of vital record registration in this country and, in most states, registration did not begin until the early twentieth century. Furthermore, many states are restricting access to the records. At our September study group, we will learn about laws affecting access to the records, available online indexes, and states with early vital registrations. Our focus will be on birth and death records.
Barbara Leak leads the study group. Visitors are welcome.
