California Birth Index | CaliforniaBirthIndex.org

CaliforniaBirthIndex.org provides access to the California Birth Index (CABI), a comprehensive database of birth records from 1905 to 1995. Compiled by the California Office of Health Information and Research, the CABI offers abstracts of birth certificates rather than the certificates themselves. Users can search for vital information including the date of birth, full name, county of birth, gender, and mother's maiden name. The index serves as a valuable resource for genealogical research and historical inquiries, as it fills a gap in records prior to 1905 when birth registrations were not standardized. The website is user-friendly, allowing individuals to easily navigate and obtain the birth information they seek.
