      A family bible is a book to record births, deaths, marriages. My granny has ours and it goes back about 300 years. No idea why they think it would have any impact on their plan.

        You can use records like that to get a passport if you don’t have a birth certificate and “can’t” get one. The process is a lot more involved.

      Alternative forms of documentation, basically. Could probably get your child into elementary school and they would be on her record from that point onwards.
