Alabama Counties were requested to register births in 1881. However, the idea of registering a birth was not considered important by many families. If a baby's survival was questioned, they may not report the birth at all. Most of these early birth registers do not list the name of the child, but may contain sex, race, place and date of birth, parents, and possibly the physician or midwife attending the birth. | Alabama Counties were requested to register births in 1881.
