Can anyone tell me why in the first column of a birth certificate where the address of child born should be there is only a parish with BSD at the bottom. Would be very grateful for some help. June Lee

I think you will find that is actually RSD and it stands for Rural Sanitary District. You can read about Sanitary Districts at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitary_district Very often the registrars did not put the full address on Certificates, but just the local area. -- Jenny M Benson
