about BIRTH CERTIFICATES
who-what-when-where-why and how BIRTH CERTIFIICATE
WHO gets a birth certificate? Any child who is born alive.
WHAT is a birth certicate? A birth certificate will tell you the date and place of birth of a named child. It will also give you the names of the parents and the parental residence, possibly. And the father's occupation. So the birth certificate will give you two generations for the price of one. And it will give you the mother's maiden name, or her former name, so that you can then look for their marriage certificate. And a sequence of these birth, marriage, birth, marriage certificates will take the family tree back in time and will provide proof of relationship.
WHEN do you get a birth certificate? At time of birth
WHERE do you get a birth certificate.
WHY do you need a birth certicate? The birth certificate can be used to authenticate one's identity and nationality, and assist swith obtaining government-issued identity documents such as a passport or driver's license
How to get a birth certificate .
Step 1
Get birth certificate copies from the United States government's Vital Records Offices. Vital Records Offices handle all certificates of birth, death and marriage. To obtain a certificate you must contact the Vital Records Offices in the state where you were born.
Step 2
Find a directory of Vital Records Offices on the National Center for Health Statistics, Center for Disease Control website. This can assist you in locating the agency in each state.
Step 3
Access to birth records is limited. To request a birth certificate you must be the person whose name is listed on the birth certificate, the parent or legal guardian, grandparent, an adult child or sibling, or the spouse of the person named on the birth certificate. If you are not on this list, don't bother applying.
Step 4
Provide the following information to conduct a search: the full name of the person on the birth certificate, the date and place of their birth, their current age, sex and race, their mother's and father's full name, your relationship to the person, and the number of certificates requested.
Step 5
Decide which way to apply for the birth certificate copy. Each state has slightly different application procedures but most allow you to apply in person, by mail or by fax. A few states do allow you to pre-order by phone, but you must pick up the birth certificate in person. The requester must provide a signed request form and valid photo identification . Valid identification can be a state-issued identification card, employer-issued photo identification or a driver's license
NOTE: since 9/11 more restrictions have been placed on getting documents , so just be patient and try to work with the agencies the best you can.

2010 CENSUS
Well it is that time again....and the Census are a big part of doing your genealogy. Most of the census have been publish only up to 1930 and none are connected to my parents themselves. Both were born after 1930.
Here is something of interest on when the next census for 1940 will be published and why it takes so long because of the 72-year privacy law or what is Title 44 of the United States Code
So in a nutshell the 1940 will be available in 2012,
the 1950 will be in 2022,
the 1960 (*AND THIS WILL SHOW ME ON IT -being of about 6yrs old), in 2032,
the 1970 in 2042,
1980 in 2052,
1990 in 2062,
the 2000 in 2072
and the one we do this year on APRIL 1rst won't be available till 2082.
This census will be the 23rd census and depending on when you were born, this is my 6th one!
Now if you care to make a little money on APRIL FOOLS day-yep that is the day of the census, go to the census main page and check it out.
Now just how old will you be when you show up on a census? The first Census to show me will be when I am 78 yrs old....

BIRTH CERTIFICATES
Here is a link listing by state where you can write for birth certificates. I have found that some states are stricter then others and you might run into a problem , but just keep digging.
To save on money and give you more of a sense of pride do the search, writing, emails, even the phone calls yourself. For example, my birth was in Calif. and the price for a copy is NOW only $14.00 (which I am glad to say I still have the original copy from 54yrs ago UPDATE: can't say that no more, have missplaced or lost it, had to send for another) compared to the "will search" site wants $53plus $74plus
There are other ways to locate a birth certificate, by going to your local library. Take afew hours or even the whole day and just walk the isles of book in the "GENEALOGY" section. You will be amazed at what you find. Talk with the clerk and pick up the free literature they have out on the counters. This is where you can use a computer which is set up just for the genealogy research, try it out!

Birth of a Tree
To begin a family tree you start with yourself, or a parent or grandparent. I have two sites which have the SARGENT family tree. ANCESTRY and TRIBAL PAGES . and now a third, WikiTree, this one being FREE, the first two are paid....updated 03/2015
To start a tree you need to start at the beginning with one person, yourself , a parent, or grandparent. For down loadable charts start with the Ancestral Chart, remember to place all women with maiden names, such as mothers, grandmothers, so on. As you get further back in the family line you can use other charts to keep track of each line.
The ancestral chart is also know as the PEDIGREE CHART
*NOTE -this chart is one your can fill out and then print out!

just discovered a new twist on my tree, a tree with in the tree so to speak. Seems my gr gr grandparents had siblings who married each other. Jasper's sister Jane married his wife Mary Elizabeth's brother Abner Adkins. Now I know I have another twist with in my tree with the Waggoners, but this is the first I could confirm. UPDATE 03/2015 Waggoner sis/brother marriage is hard to explain, Ck out the WAGGONER Line in this tree, looking at Elizabeth and Jacob Waggoner. Her son married his daughter....which makes this couple cousins. Ck this link to see the drawing I did for this part of my tree branch.
Ever find something just not seeming to workout right within your tree and then to discover it is actually sibling of family's marring with in family. This could be a reason for the complications of finding the right records and so many similar names
JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER once you have gotten in deep within the tree you really need to pay close attention to the names, dates and locations. Doing Genealogy is dealing with lots of details and facts....
Do share with me any twist / turns you may have come across in the journey of doing genealogy!
Thanks!
