Hi Kathie, There is a log of births for 1868 through 1938 (not sure about the end date). Not every birth was recorded, but some were. The log is at the Briggs Library in Ironton in the genealogy section. Perhaps someone can do a lookup for you to see if your grandparents would have their births recorded. As a side note, my grandmother was born in 1898 in Lawrence County, and her birth was not recorded then. She needed a birth record when she was going to go to work during WWII, and found that her birth had never been recorded. She had a "delayed birth record" issued, which was a statement from the parents or two near relatives testifying to her birth. My grandmother's mother had died just two years after my grandmother was born, so my grandmother's father and aunt signed the paper. It was issued in 1942. I believe that there is a collection of delayed birth records for Lawrence County somewhere at Briggs Library as well. I hope that you can find those records easily. - Jean Griesan Colorado -----Original Message----- From: Gary and Kathie Evans [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 7:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OHLAWREN] Birth records for 1899 Could someone tell me where I can find the birth records for 1899? I checked online at the Ohio University at Athens and they only listed 1867-1890 and 1903-1920 I did not see it listed at the Ohio Historical Society in Columbus, Ohio either for that year and person. Where do I get my grandmother's and grandfather's birth record then? Kathie -just North of Columbus, Ohio.
