At the time, they photocopied a whole page if you wanted a printout of one of your ancestors, so consequently, I got a page of 40+ different Births. Some of the writing is hard to read but I copied it as it looks. (continued) 1869, 1871 1869, Town of Shaftsbury, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1869, page 15.
