In Response To: Re: Early birth registrations (marianne)

Birth records were mandated by the government in 1880.
Before that, doctors kept records, hospitals kept records, catholics kept baptismal records, some births were published in the newpapers, but 1854 is really early for newspapers in Des Moines.
