TIP OF THE WEEK: DELAYED GRATIFICATION
This tip comes from the December 2006
Family Tree Magazine:
Those born before the advent of birth
certificates often obtained delayed birth
certificates to get Social Security benefits
or pensions. A person could apply for a
delayed certificate by proving his age with
other documents, such as baptismal
certificates, signed affidavits, family
Bibles or insurance papers. Delayed birth
certificates may not be subject to the same
privacy restrictions as regular certificates,
and you may find them on microfilm. Run a
keyword search of the Family History Library
online catalog for delayed birth
certificates to see if it has records for
your ancestor's birthplace and time period.
You'll find more birth-record research
advice in the December 20006 Family Tree
Magazine. If you have a great idea for
discovering, preserving or celebrating
family history, e-mail us your tip. If we
publish it, you'll win a free copy of the
May 2006 Trace Your Family History, a
special issue of Family Tree Magazine,
also available for purchase online at
