Hello,
I'm back to square one or my GG Grandfather was never born. I bought birth certificate of Howard T Nelmes (son of John)and that's how I learned of not only mothers maiden name but also fathers date and place of birth. I obtained John's marriage certificate which states that his fathers name is Richard.
I just spent money on a marriage record on Richard which turns out to be the wrong one. Now I can't seem to order the birth record for John. I figured since John was born in Dec that he might not be registered until the next qtr. Sure enough there's a John Nelmes in the district of Westbury Vol 11 Pg 496 but no fathers name to assure me that I'm not buying yet another wrong document. What can I do?
Am I a pest?
Gratefully Yours
Bonita
