Through this you can locate the parents in addition to verifying the name and date of birth. In the U.S., birth certificates contain the address of the parents as well as the birth location. If this address is the current address of the parents you can contact them as well as neighbor’s to research on the person whose certificate it is. The birth certificate contains the date and place of birth as well as the names of the parents and the person. Sometimes additional information is included in the birth certificate including parents address, birthplace, race and occupation. This information can prove helpful while doing research on a person.
Birth certificate copies can be obtained in a number of ways. You can contact the Vital Statistics office in the state of the person’s birth.
