The State of Alabama did not require statewide birth registration until 1908. The practice of recording vital events gradually increased with time and was generally complied with by 1927. Most of the early birth registers and certificates do not list the name of the child, but may contain the sex, race, place and date of birth, parents, and possibly the physician or midwife attending the birth. By the 1920's, it was more common to find the baby's name included in the record.
