However, the Texas Constitution Convention of 1869 called for the registration of births, deaths and marriages in every organized county and such was set up by legislative action in 1873 and repealed in 1876. A few counties continued to keep birth records of which the number was 43 counties. 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, as early as 1838.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Gracy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0893081302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780893081300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Southern Historical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Alice Gracy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945253339391,"sku":"9780893081300","price":28.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e95df547-26bd-48e8-8f57-a710e5d727c8.jpg?v=1681507676","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-texas-birth-records-1838-1878-alice-gracy-9780893081300","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
