Missouri birth records have been officially recorded since 1910, with some county-level documentation dating back to the early 1800s. Before state registration, births were often recorded in family Bibles, church records, or newspapers.
The Missouri Bureau of Vital Records maintains birth certificates, and access is restricted for 100 years. Missouri, a border state during the Civil War, has a history tied to Native American tribes, French settlers, and African American communities. The state's role in westward expansion is vital for understanding migration patterns.
