Quite a few births were registered without a given name. It is possible to find the names by doing the following. | |||
*Look at the civil register to see if a name was added after the index was created. | |||
*Look at the civil register to see if a note was added about where the child was baptised and his or her given name. | |||
*Search additional records, such as marriage, newspapers or obituaries, to decide by a preponderance of evidence the probable name of the child. | |||
