In 1891, coroners, physicians, and midwives were to report births and deaths (called "returns" to the county auditor. Many went unrecorded. In 1907, the State Center for Health Statistics assumed this responsibility.
- For earlier or unrecorded births, search: • Death Records for birth date, place, parents • Census for ages, family members, etc.
• Cemeteries for birth date, and • Obituaries for even more. To learn a maiden name, check these records for her children, as well.</noincude>
