Scope and Content
This series contains the local registrar's copy of birth certificates for the Kanosh Registration District. In 1905 the State Legislature adopted a law providing for the registration of births and deaths in the state under the direction of the State Board of Health. In accordance with this law, registration districts were created that coincided with established precincts. Local registrars for each district were appointed by county commissions. Local registrars were required to see that complete and accurate birth certificates were submitted for all births in the precinct. The registrar was to make a copy of each certificate "to be filed and permanently preserved in his office as the local record" and to submit the originals to the State Registrar once a month ("Laws of Utah, 1905," chapter 120).
The registrar's copies were recorded on forms identical to the originals and, like the originals, included such information as the place of birth, full name of child, sex, whether a twin, triplet, or multiple birth, whether legitimate or illegitimate, full name of father, father's residence, father's color or race, father's birthplace, father's age at last birthday, father's occupation, mother's maiden name, mother's residence, mother's color or race, mother's birthplace, mother's age at last birthday, mother's occupation, number of child of this mother and number of children of this mother now living, certificate of attending physician or midwife, date of filing with the local registrar, and registrar's signature.
