SOME SHAFTSBURY, BENNINGTON CO., VERMONT BIRTHS, 1886, 1887. 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 year the ending December
31, 1886, page 43.
