If you are searching for a birth record for an ancestor, you might not find one if official birth registration was not required at the time and in the place they were born. However, you will likely come across a baptismal record, as most people in the past belonged to some kind of church. This is what baptismal records were, why they had them, and what type of information you may find on your ancestor's baptismal record.
