BIRTH RECORDS OF WYTHE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, 1865-1872. Compiled by Mary B. Kegley and Jean Porter Desmarais, 162 pages, soft-bound, indexed. This book was compiled from two sources: the birth record book in the Wythe County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office and a group of more than 1,000 birth cards. Many original records were never indexed and none were found in the book for 1871; however, that year is well represented in the birth cards. In most cases the record gives date and place of birth, names of parents, father’s occupation, and name of the informant. More than 2,000 records are included with 487 footnotes for this eight-year period.
