I'm not related to this family.
Order Verda Lou's birth cert. [if possible].
Or order her death cert. Death cert. should list parents names, her birthplace and possibly her mother's maiden name.
FYI -
The Texas Vital Statistics law to register births and deaths was not passed until 1903. Texas was then and is now a dual registration state which means the local registrars retain a copy of all birth and death records for the events that take place within their jurisdiction and the state retains the original of all birth and death records for the entire State of Texas. However, the statutes for registering these events were not made mandatory until 1926. However, many local registrars did not adhere to the statutes until the late 1930’s or early 1940’s. This means some records reside only in the local registrars’ files and not with the State.
OK began filing original birth and death records in October of 1908. It was not mandatory until 1917 that these records be filed and of course the earlier years are sketchy.
