Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1853, the Commonwealth of Virginia began an annual registration of births and deaths. The Birth Index of Slaves, 1853-1865 was later transcribed by the Works Project Administration (WPA) and recorded on microfilm. While the information-name of slave owner, infant's name, mother's name, birth date, place of birth-is of immense value to genealogists, working with the microfilm can be problematic. Hence, the creation of this multi-volume reference work, Virginia Slave Births Index, 1853-1865. In 2003, staff and volunteers with Local History/Special Collections, Alexandria Library began to transcribe the WPA microfilm, enter data into spreadsheets, and sort the information by slave owner's surname and given name. Entries include single births, multiple births, and stillbirths. Occasionally, both parents of an enslaved infant are identified. In rare instances, the name of a freeborn infant appears. Independent city and county names are spelled out. Data not reported in the microfilm is denoted by "----." Illegible text in the microfilm is denoted by "####." This index includes more than 130,000 entries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1853, the Commonwealth of Virginia began an annual registration of births and deaths. The Birth Index of Slaves, 1853-1865 was later transcribed by the Work Projects Administration (WPA) and recorded on microfilm. While the information - name of informant, infant's name, mother's name, birth date, place of birth - is of immense value to genealogists, working with the microfilm can be problematic. Hence, the creation of this multi-volume reference work, Virginia Slave Births Index, 1853-1865. The Geographic Supplement will assist those whose research has led them to a locale rather than to an informant. There is an alphabetized list of informants for each county and city. The surname (or corporate name) appears once in each locale. The researcher then consults the "lettered" volume of the Virginia Slave Births Index, 1853-1865 for the informant's full name and the infant's birth date. The researcher should then examine the county (or city) birth register for that year for additional information. When two locales are reported for one birth, the researcher should examine the birth register of the first named county (or city) before proceeding. Birth registers for this period are on microfilm at the Library of Virginia.

Download or read book Clarke County Virginia Register of Births 1853 1896 written by Marty Hiatt and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clarke County has over 5,800 entries of births for slaves and free children. Entries typically include the full name of the child, race, date of birth, place of birth, given names of parents, occupation of father, county of residence, informant, and page number in the register. During the 1930s, WPA workers extracted information from the Clarke County Register of Births which they typed on small cards. Clarke County Historical Association volunteers extracted information from these cards to create an alphabetized list for research purposes. The list was compared to the microfilm copy of the original register and more births were added. Births that were bound into the Register of Deaths are also included. No birth records survive (and may never have been recorded) for the years 1862, 1863, 1869 and 1895. Because the children's names are presented in alphabetical order, they are not included in the index, which includes the names of informants who were neighbors, friends, grandparents with different surnames, but not the parents. Slave births were not indexed unless the slave child had a surname. Several locations are indexed.
