What do they mean by "don't have records"? Does this mean they were all sent somewhere else, or they don't have records for that year, or they don't have a record of that particular persons birth???? Someone born in 1935---you will not get a copy of it whether they had one or not. They should have told you that. Birth certificate info is now NOT public record because of 911. Jennifer G.
