The Centre County Genealogical Society is pleased to announce the availability of a new publication: Delayed Birth Records of Centre County, PA Data DVD (PDF). 2011. Contributions by Nancy Lee Stover, Judith Heald, Ellen and Lee Copper, and Kimberly Barton and staff. This data DVD contains PDF images of approximately 3600 birth records issued by the Orphans' Court of Centre County from 1941 through 1996. These records are for individuals born in Centre County before Jan. 1, 1906 who did not previously have a birth certificate or whose previously issued birth certificate contained errors. Although most of these records are for births occurring between 1893 and January 1, 1906 (the years for which there are county birth registers), there are also records for much earlier births. Most of the certificates contain considerable data about the individual and his or her parents, such as: full name; date and place of birth, order of birth if of a multiple birth, whether the mother was married to the father, signature and present address of applicant, sex; for each parent: the name, color or race, age at the time of this birth, birthplace, occupation, present address. Also included were affidavits from relatives or friends attesting to the accuracy of the data presented, or a statement from a church official regarding the birth information. Included on the disk with the images of the certificates is an index to the names of the applicants and of their parents. Please note that this is a data DVD which will play on a computer, not on a television. Prices and ordering information may be found at: http://www.centrecountygenealogy.org/Publications.html
