[or-roots] Birth Certificates

[Sue Steward]

Immediate family members can get birth records from Vital Statistics for $20.00 ordering by mail (ordering by fax or on the internet are additional costs.  I'd submit a request for a copy of a birth record for your Mother and list her relationship on the application.

  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.
