Good morning John. Read your email with interest......... how about this....... there are NO records of when my grandfather, grandmother or 3 of their children were born, the 4 child, my mother I only know that date and location because she told me. More than that, my mother didn't keep any records of my birth, schooling, degrees, etc., fortunately, I was able to get birth certificates from the registry office in Liverpool........ strange. I have been looking for my grandparents for 5 years and only last month, by chance, found a clue that MAY lead me to their births and deaths and locations where they may be buried. Frustrating to say the least. Bryan. Colorado Springs. Colorado.
