Greeting s Folks.. It was my understanding that it was for small pox.. I had a great uncle born early 1890's who in 1910 required a birth certificate( insurance purposes )and discovered that his birth was not registered.. Following a supreme court appearance by his father and Affidavitts ++ . it was discovered that because Mother "did not trust Vaccinations" and the mandatory connection between Birth registration and Vacination it had been decided Not to register the birth. I also understand that the Vaccination laws changed in detail several times in the early 1890's. BFN John "Dr. Margerie Linton (by way of Linda Barraclough )" wrote: > Hi Peter > > Probably smallpox.
