Births In Floyd Co., VA

Birth and Death Records (src: Virginia Vital Records • FamilySearch)

Few births were recorded by civil authorities before 1853. You may find some information on pre-1853 births and deaths in genealogies, histories, church and Bible records, and collections of personal papers.

From 1853 to 1896, the state required county officials to record births and deaths. Abstracts are available online. Microfilm copies are available at the Library of Virginia (site includes a Death Registers Index^[1] and a Guide for Using the Collections) and the FamilySearch Library FS Library Films 2026327-52, 2046907.

Registration of births and deaths was not required between 1896 and 14 June 1912, but the health departments of some cities kept birth and death records during that period. Delayed birth registrations for the years 1896-1912 are available at the Division of Vital Records (see address below), and an index is on FS Library films. 

FS Library Films 2026352-3.

Statewide registration of vital statistics began in 1912. The Division of Vital Records has the records from 14 June 1912 to the present. The FamilySearch Library does not have copies of these records. You can obtain copies by going to Virginia Certificates (official government site) or VitalRecords.com (commercial site).

Birth records less than 100 years old and death records less than 50 years old are available to immediate family members only who provide proper identification.
