Family History - Birth Certificates.
In genealogy, certificates can provide us with lots of information to help us trace our family history. A birth certificate provides us with information like date of birth, parents names, father's occupations, mother's maiden name, and the address at time of birth. As with all birth, death and marriage certificates in the United Kingdom, they are available either from the G.R.O. (General Record Office in Southport), or from the registration districe where the original event was registered.
