Civil governments have created records of births, marriages, and deaths, commonly called ''vital records'' because they refer to critical events in a person’s life. In areas outside of North America, vital records created by the government are called ''civil registration''. Vital records are an excellent source of accurate names, dates, and places of births, marriages, and deaths. But the births, marriages, and deaths of many people were never recorded by civil authorities. Other vital records are described in “[[Russia Church Records|Church Records]]” and other sections. | Civil governments have created records of births, marriages, and deaths, commonly called ''vital records'' because they refer to critical events in a person’s life.
