There are no birth records in Mo. before 1883. The counties kept very poor records from 1883 to 1893. The state started keeping records in 1910 usually pretty good records. But before those dates the only thing you can do is use census, family bibles, newspapers, etc. ---------- > From: Charles Sharp <csharp@modempool.com> > To: MOHARRIS-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [MOHARRIS-L] Orville Griffin/1868/Bethany,Mo. > Date: Friday, September 07, 2001 1:17 PM > > Would appreciate a lookup of birth record of Orville Griffin.Born about > 1/7/1868 in Bethany,Harrison County,Missouri.
