Bessie, You didn't mention the state or time period in question but my suggestion would be to maybe try finding out what town and county the family was living in at the time of the first census taken after the child's birth, by using the soundex. By knowing that information, you *may* have a clue, at least to the possible county, of birth. Make sense?
