Indiana law required the recording of births beginning in 1882, although a few larger Indiana cities began recording births earlier. Early compliance with the 1882 law varied and many births that occurred in Indiana between 1882 and 1900 were not recorded. Most birth record ledgers are in the courthouse or another government facility in the county in which the event took place. | Indiana law required the recording of births beginning in 1882, although a few larger Indiana cities began recording births earlier.
