birth registries
Official arrival logs
Birth registries are official systems or databases where births are recorded by government authorities.
Registration typically includes the child's name, date and place of birth, and parentage.
The term also refers to the physical records themselves: The genealogist searched colonial birth registries for her ancestors.
In a different sense, birth registries are gift lists that expectant parents create at retailers—analogous to wedding registries.
