A special note about Alpine County births and deaths:

Alpine County has never had a hospital. Many residents who were about to give birth, or who were injured; ill; or aged, were removed to other counties (or even to another state) in order to obtain medical services. Those residents on the west side of Alpine County generally went to Calaveras County or Tuolumne County in California. Those residents on the east side of Alpine County generally went to Douglas County, Nevada. If you are unable to locate a birth record or a decedent here, you may wish to check for vital records in one of those counties.

 

Alpine County Births

All recorded births that occurred within Alpine County, California between the years 1905-1930 are now on-line at this site. To view the on-line indexes, click the Alpine County Births link below.

 

REMEMBER: All names are spelled as they actually appear on the birth record OR as best as the transcriber could make out (some certificates are at least partially illegible). There ARE PROBABLY SEVERAL ERRORS within these files, so it is advisable to scroll down the page through the surnames, rather than to search for an EXACT name with your browser’s ‘Find’ or ‘Search’ function. Whenever a possible variation of a name was obvious, it is so noted in brackets [ ] next to the questionable name.

 

REMEMBER: Not ALL births prior to approximately 1920 were recorded due to the fact that it took many years to fully enact California State Law regarding the recording of births. State of California did not require the recording of vital records at all prior to the year 1905. In order to respect the privacy of the living, no birth records are published here beyond the year 1930. For information about Alpine County births 1931-present, contact the county coordinator (bottom of page).

 

REMEMBER: Not ALL children who were born and also recorded were given Christian names due to a variety of reasons, including superstition; infant death; stillbirth, etc. They are so noted as ‘Unnamed Male’ or ‘Unnamed Female’.

 

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT EARLY BIRTHS: It seems that (especially in years prior to 1920), the mother’s maiden name was not always recorded properly and that her married name was instead listed on the birth record. For births that occurred during those early years of recorded births, the listed mothers’ maiden names often cannot be presumed to be correct for that reason.
