Your local family history center or records office may be able to help you with family history and birth certificates advice.Certificates almost always show parents and sometimes other valuable information including where the parents were born, occupation and sometimes their address at the time the certificate was made.
When investigating your family history try wider sources and records such as divorce, medical, immigration adoptions, land title, school attendance, biography from local history books, wills and obituaries
