But, I got a letter saying, "No record was found for that date!" A vast majority of US states did not even have birth certificates until after 1900. I know Kentucky and WV were much later than that. My father was born in 1910, he has no birth certificate. I was at the Kentucky State Records office when someone called in and wanted a copy of Abraham Lincoln's birth certificate!!! The secretary actually kept a straight face as she gently explained they didn't have birth certificates for about 100 more years.

Since, Christopher is my 2 great grandfather, maybe this is where my father got his gene's from, to have 3 set of twins. My brother and I, are the ones' in the middle. > > Elaine =^..^= >
