Birth Certificates Cameroon?
I have been trying for some time to find a birth certificate for my maternal grandmother Nora Lord. She was born in Cameroon to a Cameroonian woman, Sophie Moussinga, and a British national, Henry Lord. They were not married, but he acknowledged paternity, and as far as we know, his name is on the birth certificate. She was born in 1923, and sadly passed away in 1946, in Nigeria, at the age of 23. Can someone point me in the right direction for Cameroonian records?

@BjergaJoanna My suggestion would be to start at the FamilySearch Research Wiki page for Cameroon Genealogy here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Cameroon_Genealogy
You can access this page by: sign into FamilySearch, click Search, click Research Wiki from the drop down menu. Enter Cameroon. Click on result, Cameroon Genealogy. There are MANY blue links on this page. Consider it like a wikipedia page about doing Research in Cameroon.
Links that may be most helpful would be: Civil Registration, Church Records The links may send you to subscription websites. Some of these sites such as Ancestry.com and MyHeritage can be used for free in family history centers and/or sometimes public libraries.
