Starting in 1881, the State of Alabama required each individual county to register the birth of children. Because most counties were slow to comply, not all births were recorded. In addition many records from this time period are missing or were destroyed. Birth&nbsp;registers from this time period usually <u>do not</u> list the name of the child. <br>

The [http://www.alabama.gov/portal/secondary.jsp?page=AboutAlabama_Genealogy State of Alabama] did required the registration of births on a state level beginning in 1908. Early registration in this time period was sketchy. Individual counties complied with the request more regularly over time and almost all births were being recorded by 1927. Most of&nbsp;the&nbsp;early birth&nbsp;registers and certificates did not record the name of the child but may contain other important information (see table below). By the 1920's, it&nbsp;was more common to find the child's name&nbsp;in the&nbsp;record.&nbsp;Some sources for&nbsp;online indexes&nbsp;are at&nbsp;[[Alabama Vital Records Online]].&nbsp; [http://adph.org/vitalrecords/Default.asp?id=1559 Alabama Vital Records State Department of Health]&nbsp;has instructions for ordering copies of birth certificates.
