-=== Local Records of Births and Deaths  ===
 The church records in [[Portal:California|California]] provide the earliest evidences of births and deaths. County recorders eventually kept vital statistics. Monterey County, for example, recorded a few births as early as 1824. Most clerks kept better records in the decades following the Gold Rush.

 Delayed registration of births began in 1943. These records are kept by each county. You can write to the county clerk for information.
 The Family History Library has copies of delayed births for many counties, such as Los Angeles, for the years 1943 to 1964.
