Bill, I would think they need a certified copy, which she would have to obtain through Ramsey County. http://www.co.ramsey.mn.us/ph/vr/birth_records.htm She is listed in the birth index on www.MNHS.org , if you can use that info to delay action while you await the certified copy.

Birth Cert help Hi list: I have a desperate situation. My mother lives in Texas sponsored housing. Well she just got a notice yesterday that she has to have proof she is a American citizen. She needs her birth cert. She has lost it in her many moves around the country. She was born in Ramsey co. MN 21 Apr 1915. Her name was Evern Pauline Lillian Bierschenk. Her father was Richard M. Bierschenk and mother was Ella Nelson. I hope there is someone out there that can help me. She needs her birth cert by 1 July 2006. I tried going to "Random Acts of Kindness". But no one was doing birth cert, all were pictures of gravestones.
