How to read a birth certificate. The General Register Office's indexes give only limited information about each registered birth. This information includes a name, mother's maiden name (only from Sept 1911), the district and quarter year in which registration took place, and a reference number (volume and page).
birth certificate a written, authenticated record of the birth of a child, required by state laws throughout the United States. After a birth is registered, a birth certificate is issued which represents legal proof of parentage, age, and citizenship, and is of great personal and legal importance. A birth certificate is required for many legal and business or personal transactions. Whether the child is born at home or at the hospital, the physician, midwife, or other attendant must report the birth to the local or state registrar. The report becomes a permanent record, and a certificate is issued to the parents.
