CEMETERIES, FUNERAL HOMES and OBITUARIES:
" . . . Beyond the edge of time, there is a place where happiness
and rest wait hand in hand, and sunlight skips across the very
face of God.  It is a place where everlasting peace has embraced
your loved one and taken this very special person home. . . .
a loving God always knows best."

Explorations of Christopher Columbus and  Christopher Columbus: Descendants
After Christopher Columbus returned to Spain from his 1492–1493 expedition
to San Salvador, Cuba, and Hispaniola, other European explorers began their
voyages to North America.  In 1497 John Cabot explored the coasts of Labrador,
Newfoundland, and New England. Juan Ponce de León explored Florida and
part of the Yucatán Peninsula in the early 1500s. In 1519 Hernán Cortés invaded
Mexico and subsequently spent several years conquering the Aztecs.

UNICEF - About UNICEF - Publications - Children's Rights
    - Child Protection from Violence, Exploitation and Abuse - Birth Registration
      Apart from being the first legal acknowledgment of a child's existence,
      registration of births is fundamental to the realization of a number of rights
      and a number of practical needs including:
      -
Effectively countering forced marriage of young girls
        before they are legally eligible, without proof of age.
      - Enforcing laws relating to minimum age for employment,
        assisting efforts to prevent child labor.
      - Ensuring that children enroll in school at the right age.
      - Getting a passport, opening a bank account,
        obtaining credit, voting or finding employment.
      - Protecting children from harassment by police
        and other law enforcement officers.
      - Protecting children who are trafficked,
        [or placed into prostitution], including
        [their full restoration] through repatriation
        and family reunion.
      - Protecting young people from underage
        military service or conscription.
      - Providing access to health care.
      - Providing access to immunization.
      - Securing the child's right to a nationality,
        at the time of birth or at a later stage.
    - 'Rights' Start to Life:
[Download a PDF copy]
      Statistical analysis of birth registration worldwide.  Identity by registration
      allows children access to health care, education and social assistance.
      Among other key protections, it provides a safeguard against illegal adoption,
      early marriage, forced recruitment and trafficking, and can help reunify those
      who have been separated from their families.
* Children's Rights

  of special protection and care afforded to the young.

        Registration of births, marriages and deaths, etc.,
        has for centuries taken place in the parish registers. 
        An actual registration of the nation's population did
        not take place until 1924, when an act of parliament
        created local municipal registers.
