Look on the form. On death certificates there is an informant. I don't
remember about births. What you have is an official birth certificate.
The informant may have been someone who didn't know or maybe they didn't
think the state needed to know. The early ones, and yours is one of them,
are lucky if it actually has a name. Some just list "a girl."

Subject: [G-T] 1910 record of Texas birth


> I recently obtained a "Report of Birth to the County Clerk" for my
grandmother who was born in Texas in 1910. Is this document a birth
certificate? It has a seal and also says it "is an exact photographic copy
of the original certificate filed in the bureau of vital statistics, Texas
Department of health, Austin, Texas."

both parents are listed as Native. However, both were actually born in
Germany!
