Some counties kept birth and death records as early as 1891, although most did not start until after statehood in 1907. The early records, which are quite incomplete, are at county courthouses. Contact details for county courts can be found on individual [[Oklahoma, United States Genealogy|county pages]]. The FamilySearch Library has copied some of the vital records of the Superintendent of Public Health in a few counties.
