=== State Records of Births and Deaths  ===


Statewide registration of births and deaths began in 1917 in [[West Virginia Genealogy|West Virginia]] and was generally complied with by 1925. The counties have copies of these records. Because most of the state copies of the records from 1917 to 1921 were destroyed in a fire, it is best to request vital records through 1921 from the county clerk (see below).
