I just thought I would add that several of my mother's siblings born before 1909 were born at home a never were registered. Later they had to have another sibling or relative testify that they indeed had been born at home and they were who they proclaimed to be so they could get social security cards. Many folks put births in the family Bible which was also used as proof. Sandy Bomar Surnames: Bond, Gooden, McMillan, Haney, Smith, Nance, King, Norman, Brookshire.
