Birth records are most often used for family history, genealogy, and adoptee searches as they provide important information about the ancestry of a person as well as a description of the child, the circumstances of the birth and its location.
Unfortunately not every state provides access to statewide birth record information and some states prohibit the dissemination or severely limit access to birth record information.
