Birth Records

OFGS has thousands of birth records. We have two very large photocopied books dating from 1911-1953 and 1954-1989. They are full of really great information.

OFGS has index cards containing newspaper copies of birth notices for births from the 1970's to the 2000's. The continuation of locating, cutting and pasting the birth announcements is a project for a future volunteer.

.

OFGS is also blessed with newspaper microfilm from our earliest days to 2018. These articles are not indexed, so it laborious to locate, cut and paste all the birth announcements that are waiting for a volunteer to fill in the missing announcements.

There are old documents noting births from the very beginning of Fort Scott. The filing of births was not required by the State of Kansas until 1911, so not all are noted, especially those in rural Bourbon County.
