Title: KENYA BIRTHS 1950s
Post by: Che on Sunday 10 February 08 22:58 GMT (UK)

I am trying to trace the birth of a relative who was born in Kenya in the early 1950s to a family of Brits who were living out there at the time.

Does anyone know whether it is possible to trace a birth in Kenya and/or obtain a copy of the birth certificate?

Many thanks

Familysearch.org might, I'm not sure of what years they go up to. I could have a look for you if you wish.

Kind Regards,
Lisa.

Try http://www.familyrelatives.com (pay site, but the overseas indexes are free)

 Consular Birth Indices go up to 1965
(unless the family were military, in which case check the Army Birth Indices)
