Index to (Birth Record), STAGSERM 1135 and TRANSERM 2. Entries give names of parents, date of birth, and birth certificate number. The name of the child is not indexed because sometimes this information does not appear on the birth certificates. The index follows the vowel system which is alphabetical by the first letter and then the first vowel of the surname. The key for locating a birth record is the certificate number. The indexes exist in volumes, originals in COAGSER 2 and xerox copies in COAGSER 8, and on microfilm. The microfilm and xerox copies should be used for reference purposes because the original volumes need restoration. The State Archives has no indexes for 1897, 1901-1903, 1907, 1909, and after 1941.
