Birth Certificate - How do I obtain the birth certificate of a relative
who died over 100 years ago?
Question
My grandfather was born in 1883 in Battle Creek Michigan. I am hoping
that his birth certificate will help find more information on his parents.
My Grandfather died in 1950 and is buried in the Redding Cemetery, in Redding,
California. His WWII Draft Registration gives Battle Creek,
Michigan as his birth place. Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Answer
If a person is over 100 years old, anyone may obtain a copy of that person's
birth certificate. It should be located at the Clerk's office in
the county seat.
