They can also search by his parents name. My mother born in 1934 was told she did not have a birth certificate on file under the name she gave them. I had them look for it using her parents names and they came back with her birth certificate. Why couldn't they find it under her name? Simple, the doctor never put it on the birth certificate. She was born in a tent on a farm outside of Sterling OK. A doctor came out from Lawton to attend the birth and left shortly afterwards. So you might try that route.
