I have three copies of my birth certificate: one long form, one short form, and one wallet sized(!). The most amusing thing on the long form was the question, "Is the residence (where we were living ca 1963) a farm?" The typist checked the YES box. This must have given my folks a laugh, since we lived ATT in Chevy Chase, less than 1 mi. from the MD/DC border. Yeah, it probably was a farm--in 1863.
