The [http://www.adph.org/vitalrecords/ State of Alabama] required the registration of births on a state level beginning in 1908. Early registration in this time period was sketchy. Most births were recorded by 1927. Early birth registers and certificates generally do not contain the name of the child but may contain other important information as shown in the table below. It is more common to find the child's name by the 1920's. Birth Certificates are confidential for 125 years following the date of birth. To obtain copies of original birth records, contact the  [http://adph.org/vitalrecords/Default.asp?id=1559 Alabama Department of Public Health].  Also see  [[Alabama, United States - Birth - 1908-Present]].
