Is there a point for which you don't collect info? For instance is it possible to see records from my birth?

We get records as far back as we can. Unfortunately, records that are more than 10 or 15 years old are often destroyed. Offices are only legally required to keep records for a certain period of time (e.g., for 7 years in California), and so after a patient leaves a practice, the practice will typically clear out that patient's records at some point.

Long story short: we get records any records that still exist.
