Which brings up the question; if an original is required for proof, what do you do in the case of destroyed/lost records?
Have we disqualified all the people whose records were destroyed by Katrina and other natural disasters?
Were any original BCs stored in the World Trade Center towers before the CIA destroyed them?
Your state bureau of vital stat/health dept has the original record sent in by the Dr/hospital. They used to be kept in the county offices ....but no longer just there...my mother's were burned in the courthouse and she never knew if she was born Jan 30 or Jan 31. Her Mother said one date but my aunt who worked in the court house said the file said another (back in 1900's)
