Unfortunately, although I believe the current German cutoff for birth records is 100 years, many of the sites with church records still stop displaying records after 1875. That was the case with the Catholic records in Salzstetten. The same is true for Protestant records in Archion.

I would fully expect the parents' names to be on any birth certificate.

It would be helpful to know the name of your parents and grandparents. The family may show up in earlier records in Salzstetten. Also, can you tell us what religion they followed?

I found a marriage record for Dorothy Müller to Arthur Venske in 1911. She gave her age as 28. However, the 1930 census gives her marriage age as 22. It would appear that she was born about 1890, give or take a few years. The record is on the New York City municipal archives website at this link.
