Birth certificates are a fairly recent invention, common only since the 1900's. Prior to that, births might be recorded in the local church, usually when a child as baptized. It would be difficult to figure out what city or state started the idea.

Is US born child to Canadian born mother allowed entry to Canada?

Since the mother herself was born in Canada, the child is eligible for Canadian citizenship. You should contact the nearest Canadian embassy or consulate general to apply for a certificate of Canadian citizenship. In the meantime, the child still can enter to Canada using his/her American passport or birth certificate (birth certificate can be used instead of a passport only if he or she is under 15).


How do you find a birth certificate?

In the US, Canada and some other countries, if a birth certificate exists, it would be found through the county courthouse, the state or provincial office of vital records, or state or provincial archives. In other countries, and from other centuries, you may find a birth record is not a certificate but a line entry in a ledger. Ledgers including records less than 100 years old may be in local Civil Records offices, while older records may have been moved to regional or national archival collections. It all depends on the particular country and when the birth took place. Churches often have records of baptism, which can serve as birth records.


Who was known as the birth control pioneer?

Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. In 1916 she opened the first birth control clinic in the US. Following year she was found guilty of "maintaining a public nuisance" and was sent to jail for 30 days. When she came out she re-opened the clinic and continued to persevere through more arrests and prosecutions. She was also involved in a case in 1938 where a judge lifted the federal ban on birth control and diaphragms became popular. When she was in her 80's back in 1950 she underwrote the research necessary to create the first birth control pill. In 1960 she raised $150,000 for the project, and the first oral contraceptive, Enovid, was marketed in the US as invented by Frank Colton.
