Hi, I see that you have made great progress with this project to include a summary of county records in a table at the top of county pages. Would you like some assistance in converting your table into a template with parameters that can be used to insert the specific information for each county? If so just let me know. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:Cottrells|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]}} 23:26, 8 February 2012 (UTC) | Hi, I see that you have made great progress with this project to include a summary of county records in a table at the top of county pages.

Restate when birth records start, and where originals are housed | |||
Where people can get them including microfilm, internet, archive<br> | |||
When state starts and how to get those | |||
Do they have the same info (state or county), is one better, cheaper, how does county allow access? | |||
Online? | |||
Type of information b records have | |||
*Name of child usually (some not yet named at time records was created | |||
*DOB, POB usually | |||
*Fathers name frequently (In some cases may be blank when father not known or not reported) | |||
*Father's age sometimes, occupation sometimes, bp seldom | |||
*Mothers given name usually | |||
*Mother's age sometimes, # of previous births (sometimes) | |||
*Mother's BP seldom | |||
*Maiden name frequently . In earlier records (years?) may be less often | |||
*Date of registration (is there a clue in that?) | |||
*Informant frequently (relationship?) | |||
*Clerk usually | |||
*Dr or midwife usually | |||
