Loudoun County, VA Birth, Marriage, Divorce and Death Records

See Also Birth, Marriage, Divorce and Death Records in Virginia or Research In Vital Records

Virginia Birth, marriage, and death records are connected with central life events. They are prime sources for genealogical information. Vital Statistics include the official recordation of marriage certificates, birth certificates, and death certificates. Bible records, cemetery records, and church records are private sources that may supplement the official records.

A law requiring the systematic statewide recording of births and deaths was passed by the General Assembly on April 11 1853. Every commissioner of revenue registered births and deaths in his district annually and forwarded the information to the clerk of court, who then supplied the information to the state Auditor of Public Accounts. This law continued in effect until 1896. The Auditor turned the lists over to the Bureau of Vital Statistics in 1918 and the registers were later transferred to the state archives. The Library of Virginia has copies of surviving birth and death records for the period 1853 to 1896 and marriage records prior to 1936.
