Southern Historical Pr. New. (1982) 2002. Hardcover. 138 pages. Many persons believe that birth records in Texas were not kept until 1903.

A few counties - 43- continued to keep birth records. Of these, 25 counties had their original books. Often when registering a child born during the years 1873-1878, the parents would list all of their previous children, hence there are many quite early dates, some as early as 1838. .
