If your ancestor, Black or white, was alive in Arkansas in 1942 and was born before 1902, he or she or his/her brother, sister, uncle, aunt, etc. may have had to file for a "delayed" or prior birth certificate. An index to these records has just been published by the Arkansas Genealogical Society (AGS), P. O. Box 908. Hot Springs, AR 71902. A hardback collectors edition of this work is currently available for $60.00. A CD edition will be available later for $30.00. Order may be sent to the AGS address. Russell P.
