Hi: Several questions: 1. My father was born to Russian/Ukrainian immigrants in 1912 in Newark, NJ... did they have birth certificates at that time? And if so, where would I write for such, and what information must I provide, AND most of all, what information would be included? I am looking for my grandmother's maiden name... 2. My father was a fraternal twin, the twin a female supposedly died at birth... would there be any record of this birth? 3. As previously mentioned, my father was born of Russian/Ukrainian immigrants... I suspect my grandparents were married in 1911, where would I write for information... All best wishes SallyEllen R.
