They must not have been required in 1928 - or at least not enforced. I was born in Alba, TX and when I first needed a birth certificate for something - not sure what, I found that my parents did not have one. Fortunately, the doctor who delivered me was still living. So we had him write one and register it in Quitman (county seat). My parents had to give him all the details, because he had no records. T. L.
