Tampa Midwife Records
of Maria
Messina Greco
Births from 1907 to 1939
THIS IS A HISTORIC FEATURE, AS IS EVERY FEATURE ON TAMPAPIX. THIS IS NOT A EULOGY OR A TRIBUTE. IT IS A PRESENTATION OF FACTS AND THEIR SOURCES. There is no evidence she delivered "about 10,000 children" in Tampa. Her record books account for 6,736 deliveries beginning Jan 3, 1908. |

Her record books account for 6,736 deliveries beginning Jan 3, 1908. There is a possibility she started delivering babies in the fall of 1907. But it's highly doubtful she delivered 3,300 in 3 months. That's THIRTY-SIX BABIES A DAY, 24/7. Mrs. Greco kept ACCURATE records, what would she say? |
