Hello, Would anyone have access to the following LDS film: 0101063 Civil Registry: Birth 1890-91 Index Birth I am looking for the birth record of Elizabeth Shields born January 15, 1890 in Ireland. i got a lucky break and received her birth date from the cemetery where she is buried in the States. I have had no luck in finding info on her sisters that remained in ireland and have no clue what county or town they were originally from, so I'm hoping that the info from the birth records will lead me to the next generation of Shields! many thanks, Fiona Fiona Brooks, CA Richter, Usher & Vineberg 2 Place Alexis Nihon Montreal, Quebec H3Z 3C2 Tel: 934-3400 ext. 4649 Fax: 934-3408 Email: [email protected]

Birth certificates include the date and place of birth; the name; the sex; the name, surname and residence of the father; the name, surname, maiden surname of the mother; the rank, profession or occupation of the father; and the name and qualifications of the informant, usually a family member. A given name was not obligatory, so some entries are Kelly, Male or Clarke, Female. The FHLC holds microfilm copies of the Birth Index 1864-1955; Records 1864-1881 and 1900-1955 (note the gaps 1882-1899 and 1913-1930 in the FHLC). Some pages are missing from 1869: p. 49-50 (gap between Carroll, John, of Dungannon and Carvill, James Richard, of Limerick; and all pages following Thompson, Elenor Jane, of Belfast.
