[or-roots] Birth Certificates

[Harguess, Dale]

I don't see anything "nice" about delaying the access to a birth record
for 100 years.  I tried to get my mother's sister's birth record and was
told I have to wait until 2013.  My mom may not last that long as she is
87 now.  We really would like to see this record as my mother never even
knew she had an older sister.

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.
