Certificates of birth. Entries include sex, race, and number of the child born to mother, date and place of birth, names and birthplaces of the parents, occupation of the father, and name and address of the medical attendant. In 1902 a line is added for the name of the child; however, the name is not routinely given until 1911. In 1910 the form is revised to include the residence, race, age, and occupation of each parent; medical information regarding pregnancy; legitimacy of child (1910-1938); status of previous children born to mother. In 1949 confidential medical information is appended to the form. The records are arranged by certificate number, which was assigned as they were received, and results in a rough chronological order, except for 1972. The records for 1972 are arranged chronologically by month and then alphabetically by the child's name. 1875-1941, indexed in (Birth Record, Index) CM1134. For records 1950-1972, see (Birth Record, Index) T1344.
