Alabama's law requiring the recording of births and deaths did not begin
until the year 1908. However, before that time, some counties did keep registers
of births and/or deaths for the county. Following is a list of some of the
surviving registers of births &/or deaths listed alphabetically by county,
as available. These volumes are unindexed, however, they can be accessed
via the Alabama State Archives. The majority of these records provide the
following information: Birth Register Entry- -birth date, sex, race, town
of birth, mother's name, mother's birthplace (many times stating town if
inside county or county if inside the state), father's name, father's birthplace
(town/county: see previous note); Death Register Entry--death date, sex,
race, place of residence; place of death; place of birth; parents names (some
counties only).
