Index for Late Registrations and Corrections to Birth Records held at the Greene County Records Center and Archives The late registrations and corrections to Greene County birth records currently held at the Greene County Records Center and Archives were recorded between 1940 and 1991, and include births as early as 1862 and as late as 1989. These records represent the effort of county government to correct the problem of births that had either not been recorded or were not recorded correctly. Often times the applicant needed proof of birth to obtain employment, join the military, or draw on social security benefits. An index of the currently available microfilmed records was prepared in 1989, and some years later, a supplemental index of additional records held by Greene County was prepared. In 2011, several boxes of Probate Court documents containing original applications and backup evidence in support of the late registrations and corrections to the birth records were sorted and processed for archival storage. This new index includes and integrates all the bound and unbound volumes of late registrations and corrections of birth records, and the boxes of additional documents held in the Greene County Archives. The index allows researchers to view a list arranged in alphabetical order by the applicant’s last name. It shows where the official record is (volume and page number) and if there is backup evidence on file (box and file number). A separate listing is arranged alphabetically by mother’s maiden name so that researchers can locate relatives of female relations. Following are listed some of the reasons why researchers should look at the Late Registrations and Corrections to Birth Records: 1. Many births did not get recorded. 2. Corrections were frequently made to the original birth records. Many different types of errors were corrected through this process. Sometimes the birth record would indicate the child’s name as “Infant” or “Baby” followed by the last name. Sometimes the child’s Christian name was misspelled, first and middle names were reversed, the surname was misspelled, parents’ names were incorrect, the date of birth was incorrect, the sex and/or race was incorrect, or the mother’s maiden name was omitted. 3. These records can provide researchers with additional information since the method used to record births by 1940 required more information than had been necessary in the late 1800s. Another factor to take into consideration is that some people were applying for the registration of their birth later in life, so the applications can also indicate: a. The married name of female applicants. b. Relatives of the applicant (aunts, uncles, cousins, older siblings, and parents could testify on behalf of the applicant). c. Remarriage of either parent would allow the researcher to see the mother’s new married name or the name of the step-mother. d. Church affiliation of the applicant (baptismal records could be used as evidence of birth). e. References to other family events contained in Greene County records (some records indicate the volume number and page of a marriage record). f. Organizations that the applicant was affiliated with (lodge memberships could be used as evidence of birth date). g. If the applicant had left Ohio, the new state would be indicated on the application and affidavits. h. In cases of illegitimacy (where the child’s last name at birth is the same as the mother’s) the late registration can show the mother’s later married name.
