I need some help in obtaining a birth record for my father who was born at Fields' Station, NC, near La Grange, in 1911. Could someone please tell me if I am likely to find a public record of his birth, and if so, where would it now be stored? Thank you!

Kathryn, If this person applied for Social Security, he may have also had to obtain a delayed birth certificate. My father did this in the early 60's. I remember how frustrating it was for him. He had to find either two or three people that could verify his birth. Pretty tough when everybody is dead! But he had to have a birth certificate to to get SS. You might try obtaining his SS records. Pam -- ----------------------------------------------------- Click here for Free Video!! http://www.gohip.com/freevideo/

N.C. did not require births to be recorded until 1913 according to my information. Before that, it might have been recorded in a family bible. Sometimes a letter to the local county courthouse probate judges office or register of deeds might point you in the right direction. Have you tried going on line to see if Wayne Co. has any public offices on a web site? Good luck. Wayne Co. is hard to search.
