There is no year that should be discounted for missing birth certificates. I was born in 1950. Until I tried to apply for a passport in the 1980s, no one in my family had any idea that I had no birth certificate other than a doctor's certificate. The hospital, county, city and state didn't have any record of me being born. It took my mom a couple of months, a lot of paperwork effort and finally "a fit" to get the government to acknowledge I existed and record a delayed certificate. There are always ways and time to slip through the cracks. ______________________________________________________________________ FlexChoice System a new approach to immune health & joint wellness.
