If your father was born in the United States you can find information about how to order his birth certificate from the familysearch wiki page United States Birth Records https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/United_States_Birth_Records . You will need to know what state he was born in. Click on that state for more information.

Well, we know which planet to look on, but a century and continent to start with might be nice....

Hi Julia,
My Dad's info is very sketchy so I just keep plugging away. Thanks for the kind reply.

How sketchy exactly? Do you need a search angel?

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Just in passing ...
Basically ...
We NEED "All" the 'sketchy' information/detail, that you can provide, about the "Birth" of you Father, to be better able to help/assist you.
eg.
If known, WHAT,
▬ Continent;
▬ Country;
▬ State/Providence/Region;
▬ Shire/County/Municipality;
▬ Village/Town/Commune;
▬ About "Year" - even, a "Range" of "Years"
▬ Maybe the "Names" of "Parents"
▬ Any possibility of "Emigration"/"Immigration"/"Naturalisation"
▬ Any Census records
▬ Any Baptism records
▬ Is there an existing "Death Registration" record
We cannot begin, to help/assist, with such.
'FamilySearch', contains MANY "Records", from ALL around the World.
And, 'FamilySearch', is used by MANY Users/Patrons, from the MANY, Countries; and, Unions, from ALL around the World.
There are many Participants, from around the World, in this Forum, that are willing to help/assist.
[ Where, they can ... ]
Provide, what you have, no matter how 'Sketchy', to let them, TRY to help/assist you.
Just my thoughts.
