    Do you think the Jews and Romans kept birth records for the equivalent of working class people?

    Yes

      why and on what? Remember papyrus and vellum were expensive and paper was invented in China in 105CE. The state wasn’t expending money on this.

      There was no record of these births/deaths for most people until relatively recently in many countries.
