SUMMARY:WMGS September Monthly Meeting: Born to be Filed - Delayed Birth Records in the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Have you struggled to locate a birth record for one of your ancestors or discovered a birth record created long after the birth itself? If your relative was born at home or in a rural area with slow registration practices\, they may be listed in a delayed birth record. These records often hold rich genealogical clues waiting to be uncovered. \nTo start off our 2025-2026 membership year\, Sunny Morton will join us to present Born to be Filed: Delayed Birth Records in the U.S. She’ll explain why these records were created\, what kinds of details they contain\, and where you can find them.
