You've got mail!

Out of no where I get mail from the state where I sent off for birth certificates.  In a previous post I mentioned that one had came back needing more information (and it is still in my desk).

Well, the other came back this week with results.  But nothing useful.

It basically said that a search was conducted +/- 5 years from the date indicated and they did not find anything.

I think I am over thinking this military thing.  Even if the child was BORN on the base, the home address is where I should have requested. I made a request using the location of the military base.  That may have been my error.

I know that my father and their mother had an apartment in a nearby city when the second child was just a few months old.  I am going to send a request for that city.

Wish me luck, I'm remailing tomorrow!

Back on the grind after some inspiration!

Delays

Well, I got them into the mail and one never came back and one was returned (11/08) with the money order as not filled out properly/wrong city or county or something.

My father was in the military when they were born and away for both births.

At this point he is fuzzy about the actual location of thier births. I originally submitted requests using the address of the local base but now I've got to widen my net.

I haven't resubmitted them. The money order and forms are in my desk.

Time to get it going again!
