These are the dates of birth and death registrations for each state. This is the date when these registrations were required by state law. Note that in the early years of mandatory registration there may be less participation. Also, some local jurisdictions started birth and death registrations much earlier than at the state level. You should check local resources to see if the record you seek is in their archives if it is not available through the state.
