Baltimore City had different laws regarding the recording of births compared to the rest of Maryland. In 1874, the Mayor and City Council required registration of all births that occurred in Baltimore. This registration lasted until 1972 – even after the state Board of Health began registrating births in 1898. This resulted in two sets of records.
