Starting in 1881, the State of Alabama required individual counties to register deaths. Because most counties were slow to comply, not all deaths were recorded. In addition, many records from this time period are missing or were destroyed. To obtain copies of death records from this time period, contact the County Court where the death occurred. Microfilmed copies of county death records for some Alabama Counties are available through {{FHL|356|subject-id|disp=FamilySearch}}. | Starting in 1881, the State of Alabama required individual counties to register deaths.
