It's just here in the USA. California.

My husband was given up for adoption.
But we have the birth mother's name, birthdate, and I know her mother's maiden surname.
That info doesn't get me very far on ancestry. I also have all her brothers names and birthdates. I had hoped that listing her and her brothers, and having the two last names would get something but it doesn't.



I can click on order the vital record for births and fill
it out but it requires I give their parent's name.
And it's the parents name that I want.

I know I could just say unknown but there is a paragraph
that mentions that it's up to the clerk as to whether
or not they will send it to me.
I guess I could gamble that they send it.
