Marilyn, Sorry to say that all births where no recorded. The doctors, or families where to turn the births into the township, which in turn they where to turn them into the county. Or the family could recorded the births when they where in the county seats. Sometimes I have found the birth one child then one is skipped and the next one is recorded.
