    Louisiana started statewide registration of births in 1918. Prior to 1918, only the Orleans Parish had birth records as they were not required statewide, with some available as early as 1790. These older Orleans Parish records may not be fully microfilmed and are not always available as certified copies, according to the Louisiana Secretary of State.
