I am looking for the birth records of my grandfather, but have failed to find anything. The Grodno historical archives claim all records including birth were destroyed, but they seemed unwilling to even look.
Joseph Golden
Born September 14, 1902 in Grodno Gubernia
Father: Jacob Golden born July 17, 1871 also in Grodno.
Mother: Gussie Abrahams/Abramson (birth location unknown but she married Jacob prior to immigration to immigration, somewhere in the Russian Empire)
Siblings: Katherine born 1899, Celia/Celta born 1897, Arthur born 1897
Any help is appreciated!
