Scope and Content

This reel contains birth registers for Beaver County between the years 1897 and 1905. Each entry includes the date of birth, sex, race, color, names of parents, residence, name of party making the report, and number (assigned sequentially).

Beginning in 1898, physicians and midwives were required to keep record of each birth in which they assisted professionally. In their absence, parents were required to complete a report. They then reported quarterly to the county clerk or in the case of incorporated cities, to the local board of health who would forward the report to the county clerk (Revised Statutes of Utah 1898, Title 57, p. 474-475).

In 1905, the state passed a law requiring each county to file a uniform certificate with the State Bureau of Vital Statistics.
