BIRTH RECORDS ARE
IN HEAVY DEMAND
According To The State
Department Of Health
Past Four Months

Over ten thousand applications
for copies of birth records have
been received at the Maryland
State Department of Health within
the past four months from persons
residing in Maryland or claiming
Maryland as the place of birth,
according to recent reports from the
Bureau of Vital Statistics, which
has charge of such records. A
large proportion of these requests
were from adults and were for the
purpose of proving identity, estab-
fishing citizenship, obtaining work
permits and for other uses for which
birth records are required.
Some of requests necessitated re-

claims were substantiated by in
teresting family records, marriage

family Bibles, school and church
records. Each application was check

A. w. Hedrich, Chief of the Bureau
Copies of the records were made
available whenever the original
could be found and delayed regis

when justified by the documentary
evidence submitted by the individ-
ual.
Commenting on the experience

State Department of Health said
that the necessity for establishing

Importance of the authoritative re-

of individuals who have never
given a thought to the subject
before.
"As a means of safeguarding the
rights of the individual" he con-
tinued, 'the State Department of
Health, through the Bureau of
Vital Statistics, checks and re-
checks each birth certificate as it
is received at this office, to be sure
that the necessary information has
been correctly and completely re-

of registration are also made at
frequent intervals by the Baltimore

that the births of all children born

the names of approximately $4,000
children in the preschOOl age group
in the counties, obtained through the
county school authorities from the
school census of 1888, were checked
against the birth records. Careful
checking and rechecking resulted in
the registration of the births of over
a thousand of the children who had
not been registered at birth. This
survey was carried out with the aid
of the w. P. A.
This check up indicated that
95.7 per cent of all births, white and
colOred, in the counties, have been
reported. But this means that 4.3
per cent. or approximately one in
every twenty, are not reported. You
can imagine the difficulties these

to establish other rights for which
authentic birth records are a

"The responsibility for prompt,
accurate and complete reporting of
each birth rests primarily with the
doctors, midwives and parents,
Evasion of this responsibility may
work very serious hardship upon
the individual whose birth is not
