Jackie, I couldn't find any information on the SPURLINGs that you were looking for. I did find SHUMERs in the 1937 city directory. This was the listing. Shumer Eugene D (Grace), trk drv Woodward Coal Co, 24 N Pleasant Shumer Donald E (Velma), chemist City Filtration Plant, 92 S Linwood Shumer Fred F (Elizth D), firmn Water Works, 13 Jackson As far as the birth certificate, the birth certificates would be together, and there should be a death certificate for the one who died. I'm not sure if it would be listed on the birth certificate. If you have a name and date you would like me to check, I would be happy to do it for you. Let me know if I can help. Deborah Orth Norwalk Public Library Norwalk, OH Debbie, Would you be able to tell if someone was a twin at birth but one died at birth, from a birth certificate? Where would I look that kind of thing up? The year would be 1934.
