Seeking birth records of grandparents, 1880-1890

Kevin Sullivan May 15, 2019 7:45 AM

Trying to find out about my family, I was told a starting point would be birth records, but these birth records would be between 1880-1890 from my calculation. How do I go about getting birth records of my grandparents on both my mother and father's side of the family?

Dear Mr. Sullivan,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

To begin your research for records relating to your family, we suggest that you go over the resources listed on NARA’s website at https://www.archives.gov/research/genealogy and the History Hub blog titled Suggestions and Advice for Family History Researchers. As suggested in Nos. 1 & 2 of the blog post, you should gather as much information (names, dates of birth, dates of death, marriage, military service, etc.) as you can about yourself and from family members. This information will determine what you need to research.

We hope this is helpful! Best of luck with your family research!
