Jim: You are probably right about having gotten the birth certificate at a later date. My daughter has my Kersey records for a school project right now but will check it out as soon as possible and let you know. My grandfather made the 92' land rush along with his mother and two brothers. They all had claims around the Fairview area and my dad and I were born on the land Russell Hill Kersey (my gfather) claimed just at the west edge of Fairview. Good sharing with you. More later on the birth certificate. Earl Kersey
