[or-roots] Birth Certificates

[Harguess, Dale]

It is in Oregon, I think she was probably born in or near Milton
Freewater.  I know what you mean about Arizona.  My grandmother died
there and the only one they would give the death certificate to was my
mother.  Granddaughters aren't good enough.  Thank God my mom is still
alive and I was able to get her to get it and make lots of copies.  Now
I would like to do her a favor and get this birth record of her older
sister.  I know the date and all but when I read that it needed to be
over 100 years old, I sort of got discouraged and gave up.  Now I will
get back to it.

Thanks,

Dale

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.
