Tarrant County Early Birth
Announcements
Abstracted by Rita Martin

|
Unfortunately, birth
announcements were extremely brief in early
newspapers, but perhaps these may provide clues to
the researcher. It is interesting to note that
rarely is the mother of the child mentioned and
babies in this time period, for the most part,
weighed much more than those born today.
[Note: Terms "inst" and ult"
are very often seen in old newspaper articles.
"Inst" means that the event occurred in the present
month. "Ult" implies that the date referred to was
in the previous month.]
