Hi Kathleen, Have you tried contacting the Vital Records office to ask them? Colleen In a message dated 12/29/2010 11:08:43 A.M.

Although this is not technically a genealogy issue, I thought some of you folks might have encountered similar problems during your family history investigations. Here are the particulars:She was born in Lafayette in 1956. She was adopted in 1959. Her copy of her amended birth certificate is pretty tattered and I cannot quite make out the name of the judge, but it looks like Anthony Cuccia or Caccio.Her gender is listed as “boy,” even though her given name is listed as Genevieve, and there was never any question that she is female.Connecticut will not issue an ID card unless she can get this cleared up. If she cannot produce a photo ID, she will lose her job – and she is close to indigent as it is. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how she might have this corrected? I am hoping to find a solution that will not require a lawyer, because she could never afford to pay one.
