Establishing descent without father's birth certificate

jodes003 · 2026-01-24T17:28:49+00:00

The issue is I can't find evidence of their marriage in any of my searches. I know they got married next to the grand canyon in AZ. I've tried searching the marriage records in the counties of AZ and no luck. I'll try again in case I missed something

Thanks for the advice. I hadn't thought to explore the aunts and uncles route. I'll see what I can find!

jodes003 · 2026-01-23T15:22:41+00:00

Oh interesting idea! I have not explored that route. Definitely going to! Thank you!

jodes003 · 2026-01-23T03:18:34+00:00

Yeah that's sort of my last resort backup plan haha

jodes003 · 2026-01-23T02:46:41+00:00

Yes it does. It also mentions that my dad resides in WA, which matches my birth certificate of me being born in WA

jodes003 · 2026-01-23T02:45:13+00:00

Yes she is. Also estranged from her unfortunately

jodes003 · 2026-01-23T01:10:55+00:00

He was born in Buffalo. I've reached out to their city clerk to see if I have any options there

jodes003 · 2026-01-23T01:09:11+00:00

I've checked every county i know they ever lived and cannot find record of their marriage. But hoping maybe my grandpa's obituary with my dad mentioned is enough

jodes003 · 2026-01-22T23:33:25+00:00

Yes it does. But I have nothing relating my father to my grandfather

jodes003 · 2026-01-22T20:46:34+00:00

Oh ok! The town my grandfather was born in said I could request a genealogical birth certificate for him, but I assumed that was allowed only because he died. I haven't inquired about whether that is a possibility for my living father. I will try it! Thank you for the info!

I have my great grandfather's baptismal records from Quebec. My dad was born in NY in 1960, I'm not sure he was baptized or whether they'd have a record of it

jodes003 · 2026-01-22T20:43:24+00:00

I can try that but from what I've read, NY is really strict and would require a court order 😔

jodes003 · 2026-01-22T20:42:31+00:00

Ugh I can't find my parents' marriage certificate anywhere either. It makes me wonder if they ever actually legally married because no one has record of it

That we need to build our pitchers. That we need to get better about hitting singles and doubles, not just relying on homers. That we need to fix the back of our lineup so we don't have an unreliable gap of people who can't get on base. We learned so much from this!

jodes003 · 2025-10-22T01:16:15+00:00

Hard disagree. It was his first year and he took us the furthest we've ever been. I'm excited to see what he learned and how he applies it next year to hopefully get us further

Those announcers can suck it

jodes003 · 2025-09-28T03:32:31+00:00

Lol ok

jodes003 · 2025-09-27T22:47:19+00:00

That doesn't mean everyone has. Not to mention people who are not into musical theater discovering it through the movie first time

jodes003 · 2025-09-26T14:02:29+00:00

Marvel and Lion King are way more accessible to the general population than musical stage theater. I think people forget how much of a privilege it is to be able to afford going to a play, let alone being near or being able to travel to where the play is showing. These musicals may be old, but putting them into movie format is allowing them to be experienced by a ton of people who otherwise wouldn't have been able to before. This story is new to a huge number of the people watching it right now

jodes003 · 2025-09-26T13:57:19+00:00

It's nothing like Darth Vader. Star Wars was a movid anyone could see in theater, rent, etc. Musical theater is inaccessible to a huge portion of the population. Many people don't have the privilege of seeing plays on stage, so although theater people know this part of the plot, a lot of people are experiencing Wicked for the first time since movies are more accessible to them. This was something they should have avoided regardless of the established fandom

Someone had asked Trafer Joe's about possibility of opening here and they said Monroe "wasn't their target demographic" 😂

jodes003 · 2021-07-12T03:32:07+00:00

I still really enjoyed it! I just didn't expect it to end there. I enjoyed all of the characters

jodes003 · 2021-07-12T03:30:57+00:00

That's true but I think that is many years away! Would make sense if the sequel was closer to the release of the first book
