Citing this Record
"Iowa, Birth Records, 1921-1942," database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:7ZWW-MWZM : 27 May 2020), Lucile Shea in entry for Opal Lorraine Holmes, 21 Feb 1929; citing Birth, Cerro Gordo County, State Historical Society of Iowa, Des Moines.

NOTE - The birth certificate seems to indicate a birth location and residence of the parents in Manly, Iowa which is just over the border of Cerro Gordo County into Worth County, Iowa. Therefore the correct location should have been listed as Manly, Worth County, Iowa instead of Lime Township, Cerro Gordo County, Iowa. It also appears that the document was incorrectly filed with the clerk of Cerro County, Iowa because of the wrong township and county names entered on the document.
