The Common Room / Where do I find these documents?
« on: Thursday 23 December 10 01:19 GMT (UK) »
Hi! I am new to genealogy in the UK. I see where people have located copies of birth, marriage, and death certificates and gotten copies of them. How would I begin to search for these documents and where would I request the copies of what I wanted/needed? I know this sounds like a very stupid question but I am trying to put together a family tree for my Mom who will shortly turn 80 and figured i should do it right from the start. Thanks for any help. Val.

FH Documents and Artefacts / Re: Birth Reg - amendment or bizarre coincidence?

Hello! My husband has the same thing. What happened in his case is that his mother had him out of wedlock. She later married another man who chose to "adopt" my husband. The second certificate lists the man his mother married as his father where the original lists the name of the birthfather my husband never got to meet. We are still not exactly sure how all of the records got manipulated the way they were as there was never a legal adoption done. In our case as everyone that could explain how it worked is dead we had to figure it out on our own. Good luck! Val
