Unrecorded Births of
Newaygo County
1867-1883



When a birth or death occured, it was reported to the township clerk, either by the doctor or mid-wife attending or by one of the family. The township clerk wrote the record into the township record book. These records were then hand copied on quarterly report forms which were sent to the county clerk. The county clerk then hand copied the information from the quarterly reports into the county vital record books. This repeated copying resulted in a huge number of errors and ommitions on the county level and probably many more on the state level.

Newaygo County has been fortunate enough to have located many of the quarterly reports made by the township clerk to the county clerk. These records have been compared with the county records, resulting in the following lists of those births NOT recorded in the county clerk's books.
