passport records ???

i could prolly ask the google or something, but what the heck. would rather consult the hive mind.

anyway, so, my mother does not have a birth certificate. after a search by cook county genealogy volunteers.
i finally remembered that when she took a trip to ireland shortly after retiring she got a passport for the first time. i think.
this reminded me that there had been mention of having to use her baptismal record. the church is long gone, tho i could get at the records, just takes a field trip or 2.

but she had used it for her passport. is there any chance that that is a back door to a public record?

local historical society has a field trip in the works for some local records that i bought a ticket for.

always good to have back up records tho.

getting my dual irish citizenship is sorta on the bucket list. my dad's side is pretty well documented, but my mom's is not. thought it would make it more fun to get enrolled w 2 first gen parents.
have some friends who visit often that i could tag along w and manage a cheap trip.

just in case someone wants to sweep me off my feet and just on the next plane to somewhere crazy.

And do not have copies of the supporting documentation. Sometimes they will have photographs, if they are late enough to include them.

If you don't have a membership with Ancestry, PM your mother's info and I can look her passport information for you.
