Can someone on the list tell me how I can get my family group records and other text reports to open up in Wordpad. For some reason they have started opening up in Notebook and the long lines get truncated. Jane Lindsey Tift (getting antsy for Version 10:>)

Does any know how you apply for a delayed birth certificate. My father who was born 4 October 1900 in Chickasaw Nation Indian Territory before Oklahoma became a state in 1907. He was born at home with a midwife and I don't think the birth was registered. During WW II he worked for a defense plant in San Pedro, California during the war. We also received food ration books and he worked for the WPA in 1936.. All of these position required a birth certificate to prove you were a citizen of the United States. I have an affidavit of birth by my aunt who died in 1993 at 101yr who made this affidavit of birth in 1951. It is signed by a notary in Los Angeles, CA. Can I use this as proof when I apply for a delayed birth certificate. Do I apply in California or Oklahoma. Ronnie
