On Legallzlng Registers Records.

On Legalizng Registers ReCordS.
| have recently seen mention Of a
bill introduced in the Assembly by
Thos. Mcdonald. for the purpose Of
legalizing the records Of marriages,
births and deaths contained in the Of
lice OF the Register Of Deeds for Grant
county. have never been able to
&c. any precise information as 10 what
the oiil sought to legalize. nor As 10
how it expected to accomplish the de-
sired end. nor could learn what mis-
takes the register of deeds had made
that We're so ht to be corrected, 50 l
concluded TO visit the Office of the
register Of deeds and ascertain from
headquarters the facts in the ease.
The obliging incumbent of the office
was quite unable to give me my def
mite information as to the exact pur-
port 81 the bill. but he was quite will
ing to show me the records and let me
learn from them what | could as to the
miseh.a' that had been done. and to
determine if possible the remedy He
showed me a number of volumes of
record books in which had been re-
corded what purported to be certif-
Gates of marriages. births and deaths.
ard also hundreds of such certificates
which had been put away in boxes
AMI other out Of the way places.
| OF course every person will readily
understand the Importance Of genuine
records of marriages. births and
deaths am informed that frequent
call. are made upon the register Of
deeds for certified copies Of these GER
tifIcates The value Of these records
depends upon whether the certificates
are properly made by the person desig-
mated By .tatute a to the proper par
ties ID make them out, and whether
they are property recorded by the
register OF deeds.
