Shelby County started recording births and deaths
in 1882. We will collect whatever pre-1882 birth announcements that we find in old
newspaper
articles. For pre-1882 death records, see Obituaries and this 1880
newspaper article. Another useful site for Shelby Co pre-1882 births and deaths is the WorldConnect
site.
We will slowly copy the WPA indices (1882-1920), one
page at a time. Until you find the pages you need here, please request a lookup.
If you would like more information on a record, send a SASE to the Health Dept, 1600 East
SR 44, Shelbyville, IN 46176. Include a form with the person's
name, book and page number, and ask for exact birth/death place, birth/death time, birthplaces of parents, mother's age and
the number of siblings. Certified copies are available for a fee.

Note: Many given names for the children were left blank on the birth certificates. To identify these unnamed infants,
John Ballard uses an efficient technique with the SSDI:
simply type in the surname and birthdate, click "submit", and let the SS administration do the searching
for you. Cindy Jones has provided us with a list of SSN prefix identifiers, which
can also be very useful. If you know the names of the "ng" (not given) infants, please
contact me! Instructions for obtaining information from the Health Dept are listed above under the "Birth" section. Please remember the SASE.
