Sorting Saturday - Big Discovery

I am doing the Genealogy Happy Dance today.  I was sorting through some papers of Mom's when I came across a small file folder with several goodies.

The best of the bunch:

• My maternal grandmother's birth certificate stating where her parents were born.  Not just the state which I already knew, but the town.  Now I finally have a specific location to begin looking.
• My mother's maternal grandmother's birth certificate also stating where her parents were born.  Again with the town so I can begin looking in a specific location.

Yippee!!!

Also in the same folder - more original, documents corroborating information I already had:

• My maternal grandmother's Record of Baptism
• Marriage license for my maternal grandparents (I already have their marriage certificate)
• My maternal grandfather's "Certified Copy of Register of Births"
• Original Social Security card for my maternal grandmother

Of course, these documents also raise some other questions, some of them procedural. So after I get done celebrating and then analyzing, I'll post some copies and ask some questions so we can learn a thing or two.
