[or-roots] Birth Certificates

[barbhg1221 at comcast.net]

In Oregon birth certificates are not available to the general public through the State Archives for 100 years.  The nice thing about delayed birth certificates is that they are available 100 years after the person's birth not 100 years after they were filed.  Sometimes delayed birth certificates were filed as part of the process of proving a person's age in applying for Social Security.  Check not only for the certificate but also for the "evidence" that was filed.  It may have been a sibling or other relative attesting to the person's age.

If you have not checked, sometimes a delayed birth certificate is filed, and would be done in whatever state the person was living in at the time and it could be many years after the person's birth, My father was born in 1883  but a birth certificate was not filed until 20 years later.
