When we went to get a copy of her birth certificate we found the one she had was altered. She was always told her mothers name was Helen Holloway,and she married a man named Baxter who died before she was born. According to her real birth certificate, her mom's name was Helen Baxter and her father was someone else. Apparently in that time women lied when their children were born out of wedlock. I am looking for info on Helen Baxter(my grandmother). She claimed to have a twin named Ellen and that she was an orphan born in Washington D.C. We never knew anything about her family so I don't know if any of this is true. I believe she was 56 when she died in 1981. Of course this could have been a lie as well. Does anyone know who she is or where I should start?
