Newspaper Reports of Clayton co. Births

Unless otherwise credited, these records have been extracted from the newspapers by Reid R. Johnson for Clayton co. IAGenWeb.

Starting in 1921, the Elkader Register published lists of births that had occurred in the county. The first list included some births from 1920. It is unknown if the names are from official county records or supplied to the paper by doctors, hospitals or residents. Because each entry includes a number it is quite likely that they did come from official sources.

Important Notes:
*The dates are not necessarily chronological, some of the supplemental reports being of births several weeks, months or even a year preceding publication in the paper.
*Occasionally a birth is reported more than once, the first report not including the infant's given name, the later report having been ammended to include the given name.
*Twins have the same number, being reported as one birth.
