odd birth certificate

I recently ordered numerous birth certificates of my ancestors.I found it strange when some of the birth certificates were rather 'modern' and seemed as if someone just typed them out.Some of the others from just two years before or after were certainly more 'original' and traditional looking.I have determined that the births from the strange birth certificates did not occur in hospitals rather at home.The parents would then inform the city clerk and the info. was taken down after the fact in a much less familiar manner...
