Trying to obtain Grandmothers maiden name..?

Question

I want to get my Fathers birth certificate but don't have his mothers maiden name. I've found her death records but can't otain them without her maiden name. I've been on ancestry .com and can find his fathers great grandfather and other relatives but not her maiden name. I've found her in the 1920-1930 cencus but again no lead to her maiden name. I have her birth and death date,her place of birth but reach a dead end. What do I do? thanks, Anna

Answer 1

Have you actually ordered your father's birth certificate or your grandmother's death certificate and been refused because you didn't supply your grandmother's maiden name? I have often been able to obtain these records without the maiden name, so try to order them and perhaps you'll receive them without having to know the maiden name.

If your father and grandmother lived in the US, you can order the SS-5 Application for Social Security Number for your father or your grandmother (assuming they are deceased). Your grandmother's maiden name will be listed on the SS-5s for both your father and your grandmother.

Answer 2

Hey Anna,

You can get your Fathers Birth Certificate without his mothers Maiden name. Go to the Vital Records location where he was born. You can find it online. If you cannot find that, then go to the State, Province or Country Vital Records archive. Tell them your fathers Name, and date of Birth. Fill out the form to get the certificate, and pay the money. This will take a few weeks by mail, and is more expensive than if you are close by and can just go to the place. Here are some sites to help you.

Answer 3

First, I assume none of your living relatives know her maiden name or you wouldn't be asking here.
Since you have her death records, you know when and where she died. A woman's maiden name is almost always given in her obituary. It's fairly easy to call the local public library where she died and speak to the person or department dealing with local history or genealogy. They will know which newspaper would have published the obit and probably have copies of the paper on microfilm. If so, for a small fee, they'll send you a copy.
If the library doesn't have the paper from the right period and the paper is still in business, you can get the obit from them.

Answer 4

There are two very good websites for geneaological research: The Latter Day Saints Family Archives, or Cyndi's Roots Web. Both are free, and have vast information on family records. Do any of your relatives know? Also, you can find out which town your grandparents were married, and ask the town or city hall for a copy of their marriage license, your grandmother's maiden name will be on that document. Good Luck.
