Since my father was born at home in 1910, and I have copies of his birth certificate, I had assumed that all states required birth certificates - even for at-home births!
I do have my mother's baptismal information - thanx to her birth family (which she never knew).It is under her birth surmane, not her adoptive name.She never had a copy of that - I obtained it from the church.I do have her listing with her adoptive parents in the 1920 Census for Somerset County PA (where she moved to).
Thanx again!
