No Birth Certificate - No Problem

No Birth Certificate No Problem

Jeff takes a look at the wide variety of primary and secondary sources to determine when a person was born and who their parents where if a birth certificate is not available or can’t be found. He reviews a variety of records to help determine the parents, the birth date and the birth location. Case studies are included.
