And in the case that this town doesnt has those IDs any more (e.g. got burned, happens very rarely, but can happen) it gets complicated (e.g. genealogical certificate or certificate of ancestry in combination with birth certificates of your parents, DNA-samples to prove parentage, getting a couple of people to swear an oath that you are who you claim to be in combination with birth registration data from your hospital, etc)by law.
