Civil registration (vital) records were created by the government and include births, marriages, and deaths. They are commonly referred to as vital records because they pertain to critical events in a person’s life. They are an excellent source of information for names, dates, birthplaces, marriages, and deaths. These records may also include divorce records. | Civil registration (vital) records were created by the government and include births, marriages, and deaths.

Details about these orphan immigrants can be found in ship passenger lists.
