"Trouble with Paper Trails" revisited
I have an update on my post in April called Trouble with Paper Trails (view link to refresh your memory). In essense, it was about following old paper trails in an attempt to help someone obtain a passport.After calling around, seeking school records, locating of whereabouts on the first census after birth to obtain a census record (and the person filing for said record), checking public records, checking for any stored and hidden records within the family, and the person having an affidavit of birth filled out by an older living relative who was there about the time of birth, the person I was helping took all the information down to the county building to send it in with the application for a passport. The person at the counter said incredulously "You want to send in all this?!" The person said "All of it." And so it was sent in.
Today I received a call announcing the arrival of the passport in the mail.
Success! I thank God for answered prayers, although hard work and perserverance also helps. :D

YESSSSSSS! I almost jumped out of my chair!
I am so excited for this person!!!
Finally. Good job Colleen!
the world is wide open to you, nothing can stand in your way, you are a woman distinguished among others! People to see, places to go, customs to fight through, language barriers to be broken, climate change to endure, diahrreah,constipation....ummm... maybe you should rent travel videos instead!
Well, it's not me, I have a passport, I just want to protect the names of the innocent. As far as the diahrreah and constipation and climate changes, I experience that here - language barriers - I have those here too, maybe not by different languages but misunderstandings! I do like the idea of renting travel video's - whets the appetite! Really though, I'm very exicited and happy for this person...freedom!:)
