Your birth certificate reflects the name your parents gave you when you were born, that is your "birth name". So you write to the Office of Records, in the county you were born in, tell them your name, your date of birth, your parents name and the city where you were born, and you should be able to get a copy of your birth certificate. Most counties charge a small fee because a birth certificate is a legal document.

If there are other facts left out of your question, like an adoption, the process will probably be completely different and you will need more information and possibly legal help, as those records are often sealed by the courts.

There are thousands of sites that say they will help you find the information, some are good and some aren't so good. I've put one such site at the "related link", I hope it is helpful.
