Abstract:

Records of Wisconsin births prior to 1907 which were reported between 1937 and 1942. Present are affidavits, 1940-1942, filed by doctors or others attesting to each birth, and registers, 1937-1940, in which information from affidavits is recorded. For 1940, the only year present in both affidavits and registers, some names appear in both groups, but most names are represented in the affidavits only.

Note:

Available only on microfilm. All reels are positive. Each Area Research Center has a duplicate copy for counties in its region. Master negatives are held by the Genealogical Society of Utah.

The registers are arranged alphabetically by county and thereunder by assigned number; the affidavits are alphabetical by county and thereunder chronological by birth date.

The Registers are indexed by name in the statewide Wisconsin. Bureau of Health Statistics: Index to Registrations of Births, 1808-1907 (Series 2072). The affidavits are not indexed.

Information included in the registers is the name of child, race, sex, date and place of birth, name and occupation of father, name of mother before marriage, birthplace of father and of mother, names of other children, name of physician or person signing affidavit, residence of that person, date of affidavit, date of registration, and any additional circumstances noted. The affidavits contain similar information; they do not include date of registration nor note names of other children but do note whether any were stillborn. The affidavits also include age of father and mother, occupation of mother, father's residence and mother's residence, whether the birth was a single or multiple birth, and the signature of a notary public. Both registers and affidavits are sometimes date stamped for when “Filed in the State Board of Health.”
