The [http://www.alabama.gov/portal/secondary.jsp?page=AboutAlabama_Genealogy State of Alabama] 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. Most births were recorded by 1927. Most of the early birth registers and certificates do not contain the name of the child but may contain other important information (see table below). It is more common to find the child's name by the 1920's. Some sources for online indexes are at [[Alabama Vital Records Online]].  [http://adph.org/vitalrecords/Default.asp?id=1559 Alabama Vital Records State Department of Health] has instructions for ordering copies of birth certificates.
