In 1934 my grandparents moved to the Sterling area to take up farming. My grandmother was pregnant with my mother. They didn't have a home yet and lived in a tent in Brown Township. A doctor was called from Lawton. He did the delivery and left before he got a name for the birth certificate. I don't know how, but my mother didn't discover this until she was 52 years old. She had to get a copy of the birth certificate for medicaid. The only way she could get her name on the birth certificate was to have someone who was present at the birth sign an affidavit. Fortunately my grandmother was still alive. My mother was born Feb 22, 1934, which was a coincidence since her older brother was born Feb 22, 1922. My mother married my stepfather in October. She didn't find out until Feb rolled around and she mentioned her birthday that his birthday was Feb 22, 1919.
