We are trying to find a birth certificate or affidavit of birth on my father-in-law

marilynrstoneberger

He was born in Parker Kansas, Linn County August 18, 1903. We can not get any records before 1910. Is there any way to get anything to help us. We are trying to file for the Downwinders program.
