<br> Death records were kept by each town clerk. Early town clerks put death records in town records and in land records. After about 1850, birth information was only put in town records. Town clerks were usually good at recording birth information. The towns continue to keep birth records today. These are described further in [[Vermont Town Records|Vermont Town Records]].<br>
