This item: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/2421402?availability=Family%20History%20Library says in the title it is Virginia, birth records, 1721-2011 but I'm fairly certain it is only 1913-2011. Can someone update this or tell me where the 1721-1760 records are?

nm found 1 delayed birth record on pg29, don't know how to remove/delete this question

Is there any way to sort by date?

    It also appears that there are many records with no year of birth indexed. The system apparently defaults to some early year when there is only a day and month with no year.

    Hi David. Were you aware that the collection you are interested in have 36-pages of films, and that the repository is listed as Ancestry.com? We scrolled through the various pages of films and have provided a screen shot of part of page 29 which indicated that there are delayed Birth Certificates from as early as 1720, so we don't believe there is an error in the title of the collection. Please go to the collection which will show page 1, and change the number to 29 and hit enter to see the full page and corresponding film numbers.

    We also wanted to let you know that currently, the FamilySearch Catalog is undergoing maintenance and updates and is logged with the information you currently see. It cannot be edited at the present time.

    We apologize for any inconvenience that occurs if you do find errors in the catalog, however, in this instance we believe the title is not an error since there is a film that is part of this collection which does include delayed birth certificates from as early as 1720.
