I would suggest obtaining any secondary evidence that you can of your births including old schooling records, census records (if available), certificate of nonavailability of birth records from the registrar of the place of birth, and 2 affidavits of birth by individuals who would know the facts of your births. The affiants should be at least 8 years older than the persons for whom the affidavits are being prepared.
