My grandma on my father side, Mone Sengphet, was born in Laos there was no birth certificate during her time of birth.  At Thailand refugee camp, my grandma and grandpa, Thongdam Sengphet, had to pick a date for their birthdate along with all of their kids to process the legal documents for them to come to USA.  They picked 12/31/xx as a birthdate with only the year of birth as different. So my grandpa birthdate was 12/31/30 and passed 4/21/2010.  My father birthday is 12/31/19xx and so on with my aunts as well.  I later found out having a make up birthdate or name especially last name was common among refugee at Thai...
