[Peace-discuss] WCIA has posted a petition re resignation ofMayorSchweighart

[Karen Medina]

The office where my birth certificate was filed burned (this was before
computers, of course).
When I needed an official copy, I think I had to tell them the date and
where I was born. I suppose they had to check the hospitals records to make
sure it had happened. If I had been born at home, as my father and all my
sister's kids were, I don't know what they would have done.

Laurie, I do remember the footprint certificate of my birth. I think my
father still has that one. The government needed a different type, something
more official or one signed more recently or something more standard.
