Scope and Content

These records contain birth registers recorded between 1898 and 1905. Each entry includes the child's name, date of birth, sex, race, color, names of parents, place of residence, name of informant, and an assigned number.

Beginning in 1898, physicians and midwives were required to keep a record of each birth for which they assisted. In their absence, parents were responsible for completing the report. These records were submitted quarterly to the county clerk , or in the case of incorporated cities, to the local board of health who would then 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 standard certificate with the State Bureau of Vital Statistics.
