[or-roots] Birth Certificates

[Kith-n-Kin]

Where is this birth record?  I got my, my brother's, my sister's, and father's birth certificates, and
parent's marriage license from the state of Oregon last year. Now, I had a "legal" purpose for getting
them, but no one asked that question.  I go my Mom's from Idaho over the internet.
 
Arizona is much tougher -- I had to "prove" relationships and so on to get death certificates.

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.
