The one my mom gave me was the one with the footprints, I had to order my original one from Illinois, as my Dad was in the Navy when I was born, it only gives my parent's names and ages, 18 and 22, and that they were both born in Indiana, doesn't say where in Indiana and doesn't say anything about race.Janeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14694386378590367343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-57177306664477149612011-04-28T10:14:50.468-07:002011-04-28T10:14:50.468-07:00Just got the merger note from Chris Whitten at Wik...Just got the merger note from Chris Whitten at WikiTree - Ann Bachiler is my 8th Great-Grandmother!

Issued at the hospital, footprints on it, etc. When I applied for a passport I was told my birth certificate was "illegal". Then I showed them my birth registration. They said it was illegal too even though it named my parents and had my date of birth on it - the date of the birth registration wasn't on it! Dang! These are the only two birth proofs I have. I did get a passport based on having the two of them.<br /><br />BTW both these documents were issued in Washington, DC. I have always found that ironic.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259663873584702921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-27749294991937948862011-04-27T10:43:55.247-07:002011-04-27T10:43:55.247-07:00Randy some of your "constituents" may ha...Randy some of your "constituents" may have a problem with the Sanitarium part in the name of the hospital and ask questions!

Because of Hawaii's rules, it's next to impossible for a person who is not listed on the certificate to get the long version of the birth certificate. I've ordered several of my relatives. I am allowed the official short version that the President showed as his birth certificate in 2007-2008. You are very fortunate to have this long version in your collection! (And, lucky to be related to a President!)<br /><br />By the way, for years all I carried was a short receipt of birth issued to my parents from the state of California when I was born. They never got the original birth certs for us 5 kids. The receipts had my name and birth date on it and not much else. It was valid to get me a driver's permit, California ID, and to apply for work through the county. I doubt any organization would accept is an official document today.Melhttp://www.researchjournal.yourislandroutes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-34003439583965581382011-04-27T09:59:25.584-07:002011-04-27T09:59:25.584-07:00Thanks for this, Randy!

And I don't believe the hospital's version of the birth certificate is valid for proof of citizenship for passports, etc, but I'm not certain of that.<br /><br />It is my understanding that the COLB is valid, and what most Hawaiians receive when they request copies of their birth certificate for purposes of obtaining a passport, etc.Johnnoreply@blogger.com
