Delayed registrations of births are found in the Clerk of the Circuit Court’s office in the county where the applicant was living at the time of registration not the county of birth. 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 in the county they were living in 1941 for copies. | Delayed registrations of births are found in the Clerk of the Circuit Court’s office in the county where the applicant was living at the time of registration not the county of birth.
