1-12-98  Today I received a certified copy of the birth certificate for
Roy Glen Pierce, and it states there were 4 previous children, and all
were living when Roy Glen Pierce were born, it appears he was born in
Belle Fourche,  Butte County, South Dakota, but the writing is very hard
to read.  It gives Laura's middle initial as A., she was 31, and born in
Nebraska.     *****
