Births Report - Summary By Birth Certificate Location

This report summarizes birth entries relating to Armenians in North America by location where the birth certificate was recorded.

An important feature of the birth certificates is that they usually provide the maiden name of the mother. Many also list the place of birth of the parents. In many of those cases, the birth place is simply stated as Armenia or Turkey. However, occasionally a more specific place of birth is given. Sometimes, this is the only remaining record showing a specific birth place for one of the parents. And some places, like the province of Ontario, Canada, list the date and place of the parents' marriage. For Mexico, the administrative division of municipality (municipio) is equivalent to county in USA and Canada.

This database table currently represents just a few of the communities in North America where Armenian immigrants can be found. The records abstracted are those where the images of the birth registers or the certificates themselves are available online. As more of these images become available, and as time permits, I will continue to expand the scope of this coverage. Volunteers are graciously providing assistance in transcribing records from other Armenian settlement communities.

To see what scope of records have been searched (or are currently being searched) for inclusion into this database table, press the button below.

Several options are presented below for customizing this report. By default, the report is created at the detail (Birth Certificate Town or County) level, sorted by Birth Country and State/Province. The scope of the report can be summarized at the State/Province detail level by unchecking the box labeled "Detail by Town/County?". The sort order can be changed to sort in descending order by count. (If sort is selected, a suppression filter can also be activated to not show the counts less than the desired percentage, in increments of 1%, 2%, 3%, etc.)

Detail by Town/County?:  Yes
