Subject: [INMARION] Birth certificate in/from Marion County
Can anyone tell me how or where I can obtain a birth certificate for the
birth of my mother in Indianapolis in 1923? I need a copy as documentation
for a society lineage application, but I was really surprised today when the
Health Department (Marion County, I am pretty sure) webpage would not even
let me complete the request because "state law forbids us from providing a
birth certificate to anyone who's name is not on that certificate." That
would be my mother, grandmother, and grandfather, and they died in 1990,
1973, and 1925 respectively, so by default that effectively means NOBODY can
request this one by law with no way around it.
Can anyone out there confirm this for me, please? If I am wrong about this,
then can someone direct me someplace where I can request a copy of my
mother's b/c? It need not be certified, just a copy of an actual document.
I thank you in advance for your help and reply.
