There are no birth certificates in NC before 1913. BUT, there might be a Delayed Birth Certificate. Be sure to ask for that as it is a different book from the regular birth certificates. These often contain more info than the birth certificates as the applicant had to provide proof of who they were. This proof was more likely than not a Bible record.
