Delayed Birth records

Details

Description: Many people whose births were not officially recorded at the time had records established later in life. State registration of delayed birth certificates began in 1939. Sometimes even individuals born out of state were issued a delayed birth certificate in Texas. Delayed births at the state level are registered under the individual's full name, so there are no "infant of" listings or parents' names in the delayed birth indexes. If births were recorded before 1903, they were recorded in the county clerk's office in the county of birth. For researcher convenience, birth certificates are aggregated into sets of 100.

Collection: Delayed Birth Certificate records

Citation information: (Identify the item), Delayed Birth Certificate records. Archives and Information Services Division, Texas State Library and Archives Commission.

Arrangement:

General note: Delayed Birth Certificates were kept in sequential order and have been aggregated into volumes of roughly 100 certificates in the TDA for convenience of browsing/searching. In addition, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) has been applied to facilitate discovery with type-written certificates. OCR has not been checked for accuracy. As these files were drawn from microfilm, if certificates were imaged out of order it may be necessary to check nearby volumes for a certificate. References to microfilm reel and image numbers maintained to facilitate microfilm use if necessary. If referencing a specific birth certificate in research, use the birth certificate number rather than the image and reel number for your citation.
