Probably. But not online. Autopsies are now mostly under the county medical examiner. However, this has been only since 1955 and later. For a fuller history, Check out http://www.bexar.org/medicalexaminer/ You will have to do some research about what precinct the death occurred to find out where the old records might be. And that is if you can find someone who knows enough about the system to give an accurate answer. So word to the wise to all who research .... do your background search so you not only can ask an intelligent question, but recognize when the person you are talking with apparently does not know the answer ... and how to go a step up.

Does anyone know if Autopsy files from 1930 are still available for San Antonio, Bexar County? I just found a death certificate for my husband's great uncle who died in 1930 and it states that an autopsy was done. Thank you, Deb in Oregon

The HandyBook says 1903 for all Texas counties. As with anything, you have to do background research better than that. Large, old municipalities - Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, etc. - kept death records much earlier. The City of Houston began Births in July 1899 and death even earlier - April 1874. Now there's a trick to it ... if they were born or died within what was at the time of the event, the city limits of Houston. City of Houston Vital Records are at 8000 North Stadium Dr, 77054. You will need to check with the City of San Antonio to see when theirs began and where located. Bexar County was formed in 1836 - and they do have early records. It has been years since I visited but at that time John Odgen Leal was still living and the Bexar County Archivist - office in the basement of the courthouse with wonderful old records! At that time (1975) Robert D. Green was the county clerk and Carolyn Beson had prepared "A Guide to the Bexar County Archives in the Office of the County Clerk." In the years between then and now, no doubt some changes made --- https://www.county.org/resources/library/county_mag/county/193/1.html While investigating you are bound to come across "a sweet young thing" that does not know about old records ... don't take the first answer you get - ask for the person who has been there the longest (and that's not foolproof!). Keep asking! Hopefully someone in San Antonio will pick up and give a correct and full answer. Back to the usual 1903 answer for Texas birth records. In addition to larger cities keeping early records, don't forget the 'delayed' filings when social security came in .. so, once again, investigation needed beyond the normal answer..... You do not say where you are located! Near enough to do on site research yourself or do you need someone to help? If you need help, try RAOGK.

That is the adult that I was talking about. I am really hoping to find actual records. I think she may have died due to complications from childbirth. I also think that the baby she had passed away several months possibly a year later. I have a lot of the info that is available via the net and I am afraid I may have exhausted this resource. I also would like to make a correction. I am looking for two adults. The second adult is Sophia (Annie) Fuhrmeister born 1865 in Bexar County. She died prior to 1907 possibly before 1900. Her married name is Sophia Deitsch. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

According to the Genealogists handy book the Bexar county clerk has birth records from 1838 death records starting 1903. I know roughly when three of the children were born as well as the adult. Two of the children I don't know anything about and only recently realized they were mentioned. Has anyone been able to get records form this time period and if so WHERE! I have seen the Bexar County Clerks website and have found so much info for my families it is amazing! No birth records for me though.
