 == Birth and Death Records  ==
-Indiana law required the recording of births and deaths beginning in 1882. Few civil birth and death records predate this time period. In fact, early compliance with the law varied and many births and deaths that occured in Indiana between 1882 and 1900 were not recorded. Most birth and death record ledgers are in the courthouse or another government facility in the county in which the event took place.

 Birth and death records are public records in Indiana, but the interpretation of the term "public records" varies greatly among government officials at the county level, so public access is inconsistent.

 Delayed registrations of births are found in the Clerk of the Circuit Court’s office. Registrations began in July 1941, and although the law is still in effect, most registrations occurred in the 1940s. They may contain information on births that occurred as early as the 1870s. Certificates for births that were originally not recorded were granted after a petition was filed with the court. These registrations may also contain births of people born outside of the county and even those outside of the U.S. Contact the clerk for copies. The Family History Library has microfilms of delayed birth registrations for more then 60 counties. For example:
