I am qualified through my ancestors to have entry in the Jamestown Society but have a question. I understand that around turn of the century in 1900 that birth records were not maintained or required. How are others "providing documented evidence" of a birth during this period? My paternal g-father was born in 1900 and is one of those whose birth records do not exist. As a [log in to unmask] question, does anyone know the exact dates that are "missing?"
