any one whose parents were in the US military on active duty when they were baptized probably has their records with the Archbishop for Military Affairs in Washington DC. This is the first place to look if your family was stationed abroad, especially in a base that is now closed.You should check with the parish. When I needed my Baptism certificate (with all the other Sacraments noted) before my wedding, the priest told me to ask very specifically for those notations. I was amazed that they were all there since I am an Army brat and we moved a lot. This is not to say that mistakes don’t happen but it is quite possible that you just received a copy of the Baptisimal certificate and not the complete record.
