Records of births, marriages, and deaths are commonly called “civil registration,” because critical events in a person's life are recorded in them. Church records that contain vital records were made by pastors and priests. They are often called parish registers or church books. They include records of births, baptisms, marriages, deaths, and burials. In addition, church records may include account books (which record fees for tolling bells, fees for masses for the dead, and so forth), lists of confirmations, lists of members, and family registers. | Records of births, marriages, and deaths are commonly called “civil registration,” because critical events in a person's life are recorded in them.
