== Records History == | |||
On the 15 November, 1865 Grenada created an Act for registering Births, Deaths, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials. It was created to ensure a complete Register of Births, Deaths, Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials of all the people on the Island. It became the responsibility of the Registrar-General and District Registrars for the parishes, to once every year, make a duplicate and general abstract from the Register books, of the number of births, deaths, baptisms, marriages, and burials registered during the year preceding and the Registrar-General would also, make and keep tabular alphabetical indexes from the schedules. | |||
It is also the Registrar-General role, at the public expense, to ensure a sufficient number of register-books, duplicates, necessary for each rector and curate of the district and ensure that they should be of durable materials. | It is also the Registrar-General role, at the public expense, to ensure a sufficient number of register-books, duplicates, necessary for each rector and curate of the district and ensure that they should be of durable materials. | ||
