We found an 1885 birth record for my husband's grandmother in Mexico, Audrain County, Missouri in the courthouse there. They had birth records for only three years, as I recall. It had excellent information: Record reads: Laswell, female, 3rd child of mother, March 20, 1885, Audrain County, MO. Father: nationality-U.S., place of birth-Monroe County, KY, age 37; Mother: nationality-U.S., placeof birth-Pike County , IL, age 24. Mother: Grace Laswell, maiden name-Dodge, res. Audrain Co, MO; Father: Isaac Laswell, Farmer. W.R.Rodes, MD, Mexico, MO.

The state of MO didn't start issuing birthcertificates until 1910. Unless was a birth register in the county, you usually won't find a birth record. At least this is my understanding. Myra

Correction - the birth and death certificates after 1910 were requested through the Bureau of Vital Statistics.

I agree that Kim should try..can't hurt! My Ancestry's Red Book says that "In 1883 Missouri passed a state law requiring the recording of births and deaths at the county level. Ten years later this law was inadvertently repealed. Compliance was poor. Most counties do have these registers but there is enormous variation as to how complete and /or comprehensive they are." It also says at the end of the paragraph: "Many of these early county vital records have been microfimed and are available through the Missouri State Archives. Has anyone been successful in getting birth or death records for these years? And if so, where did you find them, please? Marti

There is a genealogical and historical society in Houston. Here is the address: Texas County, Missouri Genealogical & Historical Society, P.O. Box 12, Houston, MO 65483-0012.

Had a wife in IL who died, 3 or so children. Then in TX county he married Rosa Wiltshire in 1886 and had children: Laura, Nettie, Anne, Mary, Edna, Darnell, Theodore, Katie, Lev. John Fowler died 1919-1920 in Texas County. I have no info. on his parent, siblings, or birthplace except that it was IL, and I believe his parents were also born in IL. For all I know, his middle name could be John so he might be the same Fowler as yours. He did have a son named Lev (nickname). Contact me and maybe we can figure this out.
