In our games, it's been the preacher's bible that has
the birth and death records much more often than there
are any town government records.  Especially in really
small towns, the midwife or the preacher would keep
track of the baptisms and burials of people either in
the back of their bible or in some sort of prayer log
/ personal journal.  That's a good way to make sure
the clue is available if it's essential, but in a
place the posse won't usually look.
