Stepping Back, Book 2 - A Compilation of
Indexes of Vital Records from
Birth Records 1821-1890 (over 13000 birth records sorted by father and the mother)
Includes the following information: gender, baptism date, domicile number, name of child, birth date, and full name of father and mother. The original microfilm records are in Latin from 1821 to June 1858. After June 1858, the records were recorded in Italian, thus given names changed from the -ius ending to -o ending. Birth entries may contain the death date of the child along the left side of the entry; marriage information about the child or parents, particularly if the child was illegitimate; death information about the father if he died before the child was born; and, in some entries, the given name of either paternal or maternal grandfathers. The occupation is usually shown for the father on the birth entries. The place of origin may also be included in the parent information.
The following is an example of birth index entries:
