#TBT From 1924 until the late 1940s, the state vital statistics offices issued a Bureau of the Census “Notification of Birth Registration” whenever they received information on a birth. While these forms can be used as proof of age, they do not replace birth certificates nor are they maintained by the Census Bureau.

#OnThisDay in 1921, a fire in the basement of the U.S. Department of Commerce severely damaged most of the 1890 Census records.
