Although too little may prevent an easier solution. She was born in 1944 at home in Memphis. She had a birth certificate but it was destroyed. Is there another location to lookup birth records from this time period? I think she said she tried to get a copy of her birth certificate before and they said there was a fire that destroyed all of the records. My aunt was born in the same place but was able to get a copy of her's in 1982. ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
