Shelby Co, Indiana
Carleen: Don't believe everything you read on a delayed birth record. My Mother was born before birth certificates and when my Dad died, she had to have a birth certificate to get his Social Security benefits. When my mother applied for a delayed birth record, she used the only "aunt" living to attest to her birth. The only problem was this aunt was on my father's side of the family and I know she did not know my Mother when she was born! The birth record also listed the aunt-in-law as my mother's mother! If I had not known that, it would have messed me up!
Ann: When I went to work I needed a birth certificate. Come to find out, my birth was never registered. I took my marriage certificate and daughter's birth certificate down to the Public Health Dept and was issued a delayed birth certificate. It has been accepted everywhere I have presented it.
Jeanne: I am the proud owner of a delayed birth certificate. I was born nearly 70 years ago in a small town hospital and somehow the paperwork for a birth certificate wasn't carried out. My birth was recorded at the hospital, but no official certificate issued at the nearest appropriate county office. This never was a problem until we moved to the "big city" (pop. 33,000) when I was about 11 and the school system there required a birth certificate. I still recall how the clerk looked me up and down as if to verify that I really was 12 years old, and in fact, a living human. She peered at me over her glasses rather suspiciously, and I giggled and got soundly shushed for it!
My brother, 12 years older, had been born at home. The ONLY proof of his birth was a small post card (mailed and postmarked) dated and scribbled in pencil, stating that "Lola bore babe today at 12 noon. Boy. Aunt Annie" (the midwife was also my father's aunt). When my brother joined the Navy in 1937, he was still not required to have a Soc. Sec. number. He did however, get one a few years later while stationed in Honolulu.
Which reminds me of something else I found interesting that could also be true of many others who received the delayed birth certificates. My brother died a few years ago and I looked up his Soc. Sec. record on the SSDI. It shows that his SS# was issued in Hawaii. Since he was born and raised in IOWA, this could be confusing to a modern researcher who is accustomed to seeiing the SS# issued in or near the place of birth. Most children now get their numbers very early in life. So if your suspected ancestor got a SS card in some state far removed from the state of supposed origin -- remember that a "few" years ago, you could live a long time and travel a long way without that number.
Nan: My mom was able to help my grand uncle get a birth certificate by using the information in a census record which showed both parents, and his age; with the delayed birth record, he was able to get a Social Security Card.
