Virginia began recording birth and death records in 1853.

Prior to that year, they were recorded in church parishes or family
bibles.

Subject: [VA-HIST] Eraly Henrico - Richmond Birth and Deaths records?

What are the earliest Richmond City and Henrico County birth and death
records available at the library?  I am seeking the 1800-1840 period for
both centering more on 1800-1835.  Thanks.

Eric
