-== 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.
