101-a4496Heritage Books Inc. Paperback. new. new. new. <p>In 1853 the Commonwealth of Virginia began an annual registration of births and deaths. The Birth Index of Slaves 1853-1865 was later transcribed by the Works Project Administration WPA and recorded on microfilm. While the information - name of slave owner infant's name mother's name birth date place of birth - is of immense value to genealogists working with the microfilm can be problematic. Hence the creation of this multi-volume reference work Virginia Slave Births Index 1853-1865. In 2003 staff and volunteers with Local History/Special Collections Alexandria Library began to transcribe the WPA microfilm enter data into spreadsheets and sort the information by slave owner's surname and given name. Entries include single births multiple births and stillbirths. Occasionally both parents of an enslaved infant are identified. In rare instances the name of a freeborn infant appears. Independent city and county names are spelled out. Data not reported in the microfilm is denoted by """"----."""" Illegible text in the microfilm is denoted by """"####."""" This index includes more than 130000 entries.<br></p><p> </p><p><meta charset=""""utf-8""""><strong>Alexandria Library Local History/Special Collections</strong></p><p> </p><p>2007 5½x8½ paper alphabetical 714 pp.</p><p>ISBN: 9780788444968</p><p><meta charset=""""utf-8"""">101-A4496</p> Heritage Books, Inc. paperback
