    A Certificate is a recorded document such as a Birth Certificate. In general, some charge-out sheets are a record of an adoption or other information added by the state sometimes months after the child is born. These do not always show the birth date or place, parents' names or other information shown on a birth certificate. Charge-out forms are labeled "Charge-Out" at the top of the form. @BondAlanJay1 - please tell us what project you are working on for more information

    @BondAlanJay1 -- You're welcome --- I've looked and looked at these records --I don't think they used charge-out forms that far back in history 😎
