Birth
records are legal documents that function as an eye witness account of a
person’s birth. Birth records contain
a lot of valuable information, including such data as; personal identifying
data, information on both parents if available, and the place, date, and
manner of birth. Birth records will also contain an infant's position with
respect to siblings, race or ethnicity, and gender. For many people, searching birth records
could mean finding the information to fill the missing spaces, finally finish
their genealogical research and complete their family tree.
All of
the records and databases listed below are FREE and can be accessed and searched without having
to pay for a subscription. We try not
to list any sites that have only a few records for the purpose of getting you
to a website that will charge a fee to actually see the record beyond just a
name. The links on this page will
take you to a wide variety of birth certificates, christening record, and
birth index databases.
