Historical Background
On 15 November, 1865 Grenada created an Act for registering Births, Deaths, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials. It is the responsibility of the Registrar-General and District Registrars for the parishes to keep these records. The Registrar-General would also make alphabetical indexes.

The rector or curate of every parish, and every other recognized minister of religion on the Island, make and deliver to the Registrar-General duplicate returns of the number of baptisms, marriages, and burials in the register-book.

The the Registrar-General and District Registrars allow searches and give certified copies of entries in any register, book, or certified returns in their keeping.

Finding A Record
It is very important to note that along with these civil registers you WILL have to search the Grenada Church Records in order to discover the name of the child since the name is NOT generally entered onto the Civil Register.

It is also very important to note that, at present, neither the church register-indexes nor the 32 church registers have been indexed or digitized on the FamilySearch IGI.
