The records are missing years 1855 & 1861-1864. There are also pages missing or illegible. Not all information was completely filled in on many records and many names were spelled wrong. The records are also incomplete as many births and deaths were never reported or recorded. Please request only a few specific names at a time. For birth records you can request all children of specific parents. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
