Maybe, I just don't think it's possible. I mean, canonically speaking, the Book of Admittance " has not been touched by human hands since the four founders placed it there on completion of the castle." Similarly, " There are very few wizards who have observed the process." If you keep reading, it also says " The  Ministry of Magic  did not have its own means of detecting magical births and did not not have access to the Hogwarts birth register." It might be just me, it might not, but my own opinion is following canon works best - I mean, what stops the Ministry from creating their own means of detecting these magical births? We can add a branch to the DME solely to work with that. We should likely make a voting forum, or something of the like, but I just feel that the Ministry finding their own means of recording this information works best. Maybe then the Trace can have some use, like the active use of it for people under 11 activates some artefact the Ministry might have, that lets them know? It all depends.
