The California Birth Index (CABI) is a database compiled by the California Office of Health Information and Research.  The index contains birth records of all registered births in California between 1905 and 1995.  Each record is an abstract of a person's birth certificate, including date of birth, full name, county of birth, gender, and mother's maiden name.  People who have been adopted are sometimes listed by their birth name, sometimes listed by their adopted name, sometimes by both and sometimes not listed at all.
