Is there a way to look up birth records from 1910 to 1930? Most may have
been affidavits filed after 1939.
Here is my dilemma:(Only one of many with this family)
My Dad's family was as follows:
Leslie and Emma Anderson were married ca 1909 (haven't found that record
yet):
In the 1920 census they were in Clay Co with Helen and May Fritz (sister in
law)
In the 1910 Census they are in Vigo with the following Children
Helen 10
Herschel 8
Everett 6 (born in ND, though I found a death record from the cemetery where
he is buried stating SD)
Vera 3 and
No Name (Male) 9 months (this is my dad)
I have a divorce record from 1933 stating the ages of the rest of the
children as follows:
Vera 16
Harold (Andy) (my dad) 14
Dorothy 12
Mable 10
Donald 8
Norma Jean 4
That would put Mable born in 1922 and Donald born in 1924/25 about, now in
the paper from the funeral services for Donald it lists him as being born in
1922 and I think I found him in the SSDeath index as born October 13, 1922
( the date is the same on the documents it is the year) I have a marriage
record of Mable in Vigo stating her date of birth as December 25, 1922. My
dad told me once that his father lied about my dad's age to get him into the
army. But now I am wondering if it was really Donald that lied about his
age.
Is anyone else's family this much of a mess?
I have tried to contact two of my aunts but they may not be living anymore.
So does anyone know anything of this family at all or how to figure this
whole thing out.
