Virginia did not record births between 1896 and 1912 due to budget cuts. Some localities did keep records during this period. Sheltering Arms Hospital is still in existence but it is a rehab hospital now located next to Memorial Regional Medical Center. Sheltering Arms has moved several times. The address is Sheltering Arms Physical Rehabilitation Centers 8254 Atlee Rd. Mechanicsville, VA 23116 The phone no. is 804 342-4100 for information. You might do a google search to see if they have a website. I am not familiar with Barnes Hospital. Did it become part of the Medical College of VA? Good luck in your search.

After his birth my grandmother studied nursing at the Barnes hospital. I know the hospital no longer exists and the Dept of Vital Statistics in Henrico apparently does not have a record of his birth. >>
