BIRTH - certificates and indexes

In 1913, the North Carolina General Assembly passed an act requiring the registration of all births. The state did not reach full compliance until 1920; however, some earlier birth records were added later.  Birth indexes (1800-2000) can be found at FamilySearch.org and Ancestry.com.  

The two most

important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.
