Although a few counties and cities kept earlier records, most began keeping ledger entries of births and deaths in 1898 to comply with a state law. Records to 1905 are kept in the county clerk's office, with microfilm copies at the Family History Library and the Utah State Archives. Since 1905, births and deaths registered locally have been sent to the Bureau of Vital Records and Statistics. Some of the local county vital records offices have retained copies of these records. Check the Wiki under the county for further records and information. | Although a few counties and cities kept earlier records, most began keeping ledger entries of births and deaths in 1898 to comply with a state law.
