== | ==Background== | ||
Civil registration in Bulgaria was instituted in 1893 and continues to the present. Early civil registration was not very effective, and there are many gaps in the records. Beginning in 1945, the registration of births, marriages, and deaths became more efficient. In 1920, family registers were used for vital information. | |||
