==Background== | |||
On 15 November, 1865 Grenada created an Act for registering Births, Deaths, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials. It is the responsibility of the Registrar-General and District Registrars for the parishes to keep these records. The Registrar-General would also make alphabetical indexes. | |||
The rector or curate of every parish, and every other recognized minister of religion on the Island, make and deliver to the Registrar-General duplicate returns of the number of baptisms, marriages, and burials in the register-book. | |||
The the Registrar-General and District Registrars allow searches and give certified copies of entries in any register, book, or certified returns in their keeping. | |||
