Hi Chris, I am also looking for a birth certificate for my grandfather who was born in Birmingham in 1892. I spent two days in August of this year in Birmingham & Montgomery searching through their archives. Unfortunately, I was not able to find anything on my grandfather. Interestingly enough, no one else has mentioned the Jefferson County Dept of Health. It sounds like a new lead for me and perhaps others. Chris, could you provide their address and phone number. Thanks in advance. Raymond Simmons "My grandfather was born in 1896 in Birmingham and I need to get a certified copy of his birth certificate. I know the regular channels only supply births from 1906 on, but I saw on AlGenWeb that Jefferson County had births back to 1882. I called around and got the Jefferson County Department of Health, Bureau of Health Statistics and Vital Records and I was sent a form (I live in New Orleans)."
