Births listed as single parent for 1938 through 1977 were actually illegitimate
births. This information became unavailable after September 30, 1978. Since then
whether or not both parents were named on the birth record has been used as a
surrogate for illegitimacy. Beginning in 1989 Black is shown rather than All Other.
