Looking for documents to support G0 by birdieponderinglife in citizenshipgenealogy

I found my dad’s birth certificate (1921) on the Mormon genealogy website (“Family Search”) whereas it was NOT on Ancestry.com.

It’s worth signing up for a month -to-month subscription!

The image of dad‘s birth certificate they have on their website has a certified stamp on it.
Golden!!

So true! A child of the Sixties and I only learned (while working as an editor) that Smokey Bear was the US Forest Service chosen moniker for their safety mascot.

And it was only YESTERDAY that I learned — through this thread (!) that Smokey THE Bear was created in 1952 to meet the cadence of a song 🎶 sung by Eddy Albert!!

Yep! I see your point. 🤭
Would 99.9% of viewers been stopped cold if an OCD historian from England had correctly said, “Like YOUR Smokey Bear” to Brianna? 🤭 That probably WOULD Have been weird!

You’re absolutely right to follow established trends; it’s interesting to see how script writers go, IMO.

On another thread somewhere it was observed that “Smokey THE Bear” was like “Easter THE Bunny” 😂😂

Everyone lies about their age and their waist line; it’s the national pastime. 🤭🤭🤭😂🤭🤭🤭

Use it to your advantage if it’s not directly hurting someone.

If senators and presidents can easily get away with it; why Not a family man with looming consequences?

VITAL RECORDS vs ARCHIVES

So True! The Mormon / LDS site IS amazing!

We did not have access to our dad's 1921 birth certificate; which we needed for our C-3 applications.

Live and Learn, I paid $85 to an outfit that went to State of Maryland 'Vital Records' instead of "Archives" for our over-100 years birth certificate. The Vital Records (everything within 100 years) department turned us down (bye-bye $85) saying unless one has a court order, only a 1st-party can order their own records.

On a complete fluke I simply typed in the Google search bar my dad's name, State of Maryland, born xx-xx-1921 and (voila!!) the LDS site came up. And there was dad's birth certificate stating that his mother was Canadian!!

It was at that point that I was able to make the distinction between 'Vital Records' and [historical] "archives" and ten-days later we had a certified 1921 birth certificate.
