IS THIS POSSIBLE?? It is possible for me to have found the information I did and still to have been born in a state other then NY. Is it possible my parents did something or paid someone to have all this information covered up?
I would say that if you found your Original Birth Certificate in the New York public library then you were in all likelihood born in New York State. Usually, if there is a falsehood about place of birth, it is on the Amended Birth Certificate, not the OBC. Many amended certificates, especially from decades ago, show the town and state of the adoptive parents' residence, not the actual birth place of the infant. But from what I understand, it would be very difficult to have an OBC with false information, especially a whole different state being listed for place of birth.
