Texas Delayed or Probate Birth Certificates

The majority of people who received delayed birth certificates are males who signed into the Social Security System in the mid 1930s and the workers who needed a certificate to work for the government during WWII. The majority of these males were born from the late 1870s through 1910.  People born in other states, moving to Texas as adults often applied to the State of Texas for a certificate which contains birth data that is not filed in the state of birth of the individual.

Social Security Death Index
Free Internet Search provides birth and death dates
Not everyone is in the Social Security Death Index.  Many women did not have Social Securtiy cards as they were stay at home moms. Railroad workers did not get Social Security death benefits. In order to be listed in the SSDI, someone must have filled out a form to claim the deceased's social security death benefit.
