North Carolina began keeping official birth records in 1913, although county records date back to the 1700s. Before state registration, churches, especially Baptist and Methodist congregations, kept records of births and baptisms.
North Carolina’s history includes Native American tribes, early English settlements, and its role in the American Revolution. The state’s African American and Scots-Irish populations are significant for genealogical research.
