User:HardestyPN/Sandbox Births 1931 to 1969

Step ONE: Find the birth in the Index
An online birth index from 1931 to 1969 is available on the subscription database, Ancestry.com. This subscription is free for Family History Centers: West Virginia, Births Index, 1853–1969

TIPS: If you can’t find your individual, try the following:


 * If you did not get results, type in less information about the person. Try only search for the first and last name of the person.
 * If you have too many hits, try adding information including approximate birth date and the county

Step TWO: Obtain the Certificate
If you find a match for your individual in the index and the birth is less than 100 years old, you can order a copy of the certificate from the state of West Virginia, if you are:


 * The Person on the Certificate
 * The Parents and Grandparents of Person on the Certificate
 * The Wife or Husband of the Person on the Certificate
 * The Children and Grandchildren of the Person on the Certificate
 * The Brothers or Sisters
 * Anyone who has Legal interest in the Certificate

A copy of the birth record cannot be obtained by anyone else until after 100 years from the date of the birth.

If the Birth was before 1931 or after 1969
