Montana Vital Records: Difference between revisions

<nowiki>* </nowiki>The Montana Legislative Assembly passed a law in&nbsp;1895 that required local physicians and midwives to register births. In addition,&nbsp;clergymen, coroners, sextons, and undertakers were required&nbsp;to&nbsp;register&nbsp;deaths. Statewide registration of births and deaths was not required until 1907. Althought&nbsp;montana&nbsp;counties were not required to record&nbsp;birth and death records prior to 1895, a few counties do have earlier records. For instance, Silverbow County has some birth records beginning in 1878, and Yellowstone County has deaths beginning in 1884.<ref>Alice Eichholz, ed.
