I am trying to locate a birth certificate for MARCO SANTOS born April 19, 1973, somewhere in the US. His fathers name is Marco Antonio Santos Sr. born in Mexico His mothers name is Maricela Santos (maiden name unknown.) born in Italy. If you have access to birth records in any state could you please check to see if Marco's birth certificate is there. Even a no, will narrow my search. Thank you. Linda hill@ctelcom.net >> Linda, This is a tall order! Do you have any idea at all what state it might be? Sometimes you can get info from your local Social Security office if you are family and looking for the person. Is the person living? If not, there are several Marco Santos listed in Ancestry's SSDI. Looks like the dates would correspond with his father's age, not the son's though. Thanks, Cheryl
