Birth Record Source Information

These data were extracted from a ledger, 16″ x 11″: “REGISTER of BIRTHS, HOOD COUNTY TEXAS, 1903-1928.” This ledger, one volume, is in the custody of the Hood County Genealogical Society. This ledger is in poor condition and is in need of a new binding. The column headings have been transcribed and indexed, except for those marked with an “*”.

Digital photos of selected pages from this historical Hood County record are available.
