Congrats on kicking a hole in your brick wall! I found a marriage
certificate several years ago in the middle of rural Nebraska for a man born
in Massachusetts. It was the only extant document found that proved his
father's name. Since he was in his late 60's and marrying for the third
time, it was indeed fortunate that the clerk was very thorough and wrote
down the names of his parents and his birth place. Never mind that the
parents were long gone.
County courthouses are a treasure trove, if you have some idea of where to
start looking. Great job on your find and good luck with your DNA research!
