Birth, marriage, and death records made by the government are called “civil registration” in the Place Search of the ''Family History Library Catalog'' for Germany, Russia, and most other nations. The same kind of records are called “vital records” in the Canada and United States sections of the catalog. Records of births, marriages, and deaths are commonly referred to as “vital records” because they refer to critical events in a person's life. Civil registration records are an excellent source for accurate information on names, dates, and places of births, marriages, deaths, and divorces. | Birth, marriage, and death records made by the government are called “civil registration” in the Place Search of the ''Family History Library Catalog'' for Germany, Russia, and most other nations.
