Hello, I have been trying to find my father's birth certificate for about 20 years with no luck. I have found out my biological grandmother may have been Indian. I have been thinking maybe my father was born on an Indian Reservation...is this something you could help with? Thank you, Freda Dahlberg Schurr

1) Start fresh with a new email, not a reply to someone else's.  List the full name and location of your grandfather in the Subject line, or his dates of birth and death. 2) List full name, (assumed) date of birth without the birth certificate (include the state, name of Reservation, if known), date of marriage, name of spouse and info about spouse, date and location of death.  Let us know if you have the documents to prove the marriage and death; some of the information you seek may be on those documents.  Depending on the era and the state, there is often a section to list the parents' names and locations of birth for each (sometimes correct if a family member gave the info on the deceased).  Check the birth/death information on the parent of the grandfather you are looking for, see if the full names and location(s) of birth, or at least current residence(s), of the father and mother are listed, and check the name of the spouse, if known, since that name should also be listed. 3) Have you checked census data to see what is listed for your grandfather, his parents?  I've sometimes gone back two or three generations just on census data alone, before finding the birth, marriage, death information.  Have you found your grandfather in the Find-A-Grave index if you know where he died and/or is buried?  Do you have obituary information? 4) We may be able to help you..., depending on how much documented information you have and list.
