Birthday
Trying for many years to find my birth mom Teresa Lugo. All I know she was born 1936. Her parents were Hipolita Lugo and Avelino Seda Ramirez. Wonder if someone could help me in this. Thank you.

@NANCYRIVERA51 I think your best bet is https://www.familysearch.org/en/library/online-genealogy-help I hope I did this right — not very good with computers or if they were in the US, you could try the 1940 census on Ancestry - they might let you try one name for free and I would look for your birth mom's parents names. The problem is that your birth mom might still be alive in which case, both government and church sources would want to preserve her privacy. Best wishes

I assume this is her: GCDL-DHX. I see from her profile that she is deceased (there is no attached source to verify this - if you have one, please add it).
While this doesn't help with the birth date, she does seem to be on the 1950 census alongside her mother.

Hello Nancy,
If I were searching for a person who has passed and the information that I had included her biological parents, I would start with them.
Assuming this is within the US, census reports are open and when you access these, if you are able to look at the text of the original, there might be more information available. ( Some indicate family member birth year and birth month also)
Because she has passed, another source might be the funeral home/ religious establishment in which was used for any burial/ and the state in which the person passed.
Death certificates are available to close family through online, certified cites. These are often required when a person closes an estate for those who have passed and I am not familiar with all state practices.It is also possible that your missing person might be found through obituary services such as Find-a-grave dot com or Legacy. Each are best when specifics are available such as 'state', death year, and birth year.
I assume that you have searched familysearch with the birth year and death year in place, but it might help to open end the birth year and then- once you have it, close it again.
It seems that her birth year was a span where many tended to tweak the birth years in surprising ways and it could be that the year you 'know' could be incorrect if there is no data to support it.
Assume there may be alternative spellings on everything also. If there are nicknames, assume they might show up in official data.
Many went by middle names.Others Initials.
As a lady, she may have been married- more than once- widowed- or said she was- as the stigma attached.
Leaving things open and working backwards, using cited data, official and recorded information- and don't be afraid to consider some information that you may have been told by well meaning people could be incorrect as well.
Good luck to you.
I hope that you are able to find information you seek and it brings some answers.

I have hit no information in my biological mother month and date of birth. (I do have her birth year she was born 1936). In some records she appears born in 1933, 1934. I send for her death certificate and no luck with her birthday, just got the year 1936. I call where she buried and hit rock too, no birthday and call where she was born and no record of a birth certificate. Don't know what else to do. Can someone help?

She was my mother and she had been dead for almost 66 years. And I wasn't raise with her because she died when I was almost 4 years and raise with my other family and all are death and never occur to me to ask my grandmother or someone else about her. I had look every where I can and no luck.

@NANCYRIVERA51 FamilySearch Community takes great care when sharing information about individuals who may still be living. Because you have confirmed that she is not still living, your mother's name has been restored to your original post.
We have also merged another discussion you created about your mother with this one, as it is best to keep all the information together in one discussion.
You are right that there is not much information online about your mother's birthdate. In case you haven't tried it yet, here is the link to the FamilySearch Wiki page for San German, Puerto Rico: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/San_Germ%C3%A1n,_Puerto_Rico_Genealogy
I did notice that the civil registrations for San German do not contain birth certificates for live births past 1931, which does not help locate your mother's birth certificate since she was born somewhere between 1933 and 1936. Here is the link to the collection that will allow you to search it manually: https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/image/index?owc=9PPN-RMS%3A131316801%3Fcc%3D1682798
FamilySearch does have a Catholic church records collection for Puerto Rico, but I did not find your mother in the index. You could search it manually by municipality. Here is the link to that collection: https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/collection/1807092
If you know your birth mother's religion, you could try writing to the church in her birth town. Here's the FamilySearch wiki page for information about churches in Puerto Rico: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Puerto_Rico_Church_Records
If your mother was Catholic, here is a website that helps you find the local church: https://www.catholicdirectory.com/home
I did find a New York death index that is not attached to your mother's profile yet, but it doesn't give any information you don't already have. It might be good to attach it to your mother's profile. Here's the link: https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/61461/records/886192
Another option to try is to research your father, your brothers and sisters, and your aunts and uncles further. There could be a record for one of them that might give you the birthdate you are looking for. I wish you the best of luck in your search.
