These records were photocopied for me on a trip to Bennington Co., Vermont, in the Town Clerks Office of Shaftsbury, back in 1976. These are only the pages to which referred to my ancestors, the HARRIS and CHURCH families. 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. Births Registered in the Town of Shaftsbury for the year ending December 31, 1882, page 37 No., Date of Birth, Name of Child, Sex and Condition, Place of Birth, Parents, Residence of Parents, Occupation of Father, Place of Birth of Father, Place of Birth of Mother. 1, June 2, 1882, Floyd S.
