Sorry, I meant to include this link to a printable Texas State birth/death certificate request form... http://www.tdh.state.tx.us/bvs/registra/bcdcapp.htm If I order a certificate, I include as much information as I can...to ward off any thought they might have to reject my request. If you have the death certificates for the mother and the daughter, you might send a copy along with your request. LaRae << If you haven't tried sending for a birth certificate yet, you might do so....knowing the mother's exact name, baby's name and the exact date of birth should get any cert. filed at the time. >>
