Florida's do not. Edwin Bruce Cramer was born February 10, 1949. Searching newspapers.com, Chronicling America, and ancestry.com has found no matches. There are 3244 counties in the U.S.; sending a rquest for birth certificates to all of them would be prohibitive. ChatGPT has not been helpful. Suggestions?
He was a teacher (surprise, surprise). Maybe I can pry this out of the state board of education.
UPDATE: Thanks. Ancestry.com had the right name, birth date, death date and death location.
Found 1 Edwin Bruce Cramer in Fairmont WV. Mother Mary E Metz Cramer. 1950 census says he was born in WV. Need more info?
ReplyDeleteThat was enough to order a birth certificate.
DeleteWho was he? A relative?
ReplyDeleteHe was my illegitimate half-brother, born in 1949.
