Although there was no luck with Gran’s… I DID order my new baby’s and can consider that DONE…

My parents went through the EXACT SAME PROCESS as I and are currently stumped as to what avenue we should pursue…. This stays on my list until we discuss further. She we just ASK Gran what she’d like?

The Texas Dept of Health was unable to locate Gran’s birth certificate. This hurts. I have a sinking feeling in my chest…. They presented to option to have one created for a small fee. It’s not authentic. Should I have it made?

8/19 …Upon reviewing my online bank statement, I see my $11 check for the birth certificate posted! Did they find it?!

8/12: well, fannin county courthouse sent a letter… they searched the birth records, yet did not find Gran’s… they sent a form for me to try TX Dept of Health… I will mail it in the AM…

8/6: ... Went to the country & visited my grandparents last month. Gran expressed that she wanted a copy of her birth certificate…She was born a little Black Girl in Honey Grove, Texas in 1923… I wonder if I will find it???

8/8: Spoke with the County Clerk of Fannin County today. Records date back to 1903, so there is luck yet! I mailed the request off today!
