+'''Counties.''' Years after the original birth, a county's Probate Courts ''may&nbsp;'' have recorded some '''''delayed&nbsp;''''' birth certificates prior to 1919. For example, Oconee County delayed birth certificates 1875-1918 are available as part of [http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=2156 Oconee County, Georgia Probate Court Birth Certificates, 1875-1936, 1938-2008]] at Ancestry.
