1908-1912 Birth Certificates, Sevier County, Tennessee

Tennessee had a birth and death certificate law for a short time from 1908 through 1912.  These certificates did not include as much information as did later birth and death certificates.  There were no birth or death certificates in 1913.  A new law was then passed, and since 1914 both birth and death certificates in Tennessee have been more or less in their modern form.
