What to do? No Birth Certificate for American-born Father

[Cristina319]

Good evening!
I am trying to gather all of my records for citizenship, and I cannot get a birth certificate for my American, non-Italian father. His parents emigrated from Austria in 1912 or so, and he was born in 1917 in Ohio. There is no record of his birth, but there is of his death. What a predicament.

Can anyone give me your thoughts on what i need to do?

Thanks!
Cristina

Since your father is not part of your Italian line, you needn't worry. Do provide the marriage and death certificates. The missing birth certificate is unlikely to be a problem.

Grazie, Mier! I appreciate it!
