I am having trouble proving that my grandfather, Firm C. Burket was ever born. There is no birth certificate, no church records, his military (WWI) records were burned in the 1973 fire, there is no record of his actions disposing of his parents assets after their deaths in 1923. He was born and raised in Rawson, Hancock Co., Ohio Any assistance would be appreciated. My lineage..
