Can anyone tell me how to get a copy of my grandfather Henry GELLNER's birth certificate. I thought he was born in Monroe Co, but the Clerk's office has no record of him there, and neither does the Zoar church his family attended near New Hanover. His death certificate states that he was born 3 Sep 1883 in Illinois (no county) & died from an accident 15 July 1931 in St. Louis. He was a widower and his father was listed as Otiz Gellner, mother "unknown". The really frustrating part of this is that the info for the death certificate was provided by who my Dad said was Grandpa's sister (I have her birth cert from Monroe - father Henry Gellner, mother Wilhelmine Kottwitz). If they were really brother & sister, I can't believe she would not know mother's name! According to info I'm aware of, I must know the county to get the birth cert for that time period. I have no family still alive to ask. Can anyone help - Thanks Annette & John
