Georgia birth records

Birth records contain information about a person's birth, including the date of birth, place of birth, sometimes the names of the mother and father, and even the physician who attended the birth. Birth certificates issued by state and local governments will often include the place of residence, and the mother's maiden name.

Birth records have long been used to help with genealogy research. They are considered to be "primary source" records, because the information is recorded by an eye witness, at the time the birth takes place. The Internet has allowed people to store birth records into various online archives. This has brought access to online birth records much more easier for genealogy researchers.

Newspapers frequently publish notices of births, and in addition to birth certificates, are a popular source of research by genealogists. Newspapers typically do not announce the names of the newborn, but list the sex of the child, the names of the parents, the place and date of birth.

On this page you will find the most comprehensive databases containing birth records of Georgia. We also suggest searching for "Georgia birth records" using Google.com, which will yield all such databases.

How to Obtain Georgia Birth Certificates

Birth and death records began on a statewide level in 1919. Compliance was not considered extensive until 1928. Records before that time were kept on a county basis, and vary from county to county. Marriage records are the most complete, available from the 1700s on in most areas, but also vary from county to county. For birth records after 1919, and marriage records after June, 1952, write:

Georgia Division of Public Health
Vital Records
Room 217-H 47
Trinity Ave., SW
Atlanta, Georgia 30334-5600
Tel: 404-656-4750

For prior records, contact the clerk of the county in question.
