Why?
If you’re in the US, you should know this because if you want to apply for a passport, you’ll be required to provide information about your parents such as birth dates and places. If you’re divorced, you will have to provide the same info along with marriage and divorce date, even if it was decades ago. So if you have access to that info, make sure you record it somewhere safe for Future use.
If you’re not in the US, you should know because this information can be difficult for people to get if they never knew one or both parents, or have a bad/non-relationship with them. Or if they had a contentious divorce or an abusive partner. Which is another reason why just leaving the country can be difficult for people who are already marginalized.
YSK this is another fine example of the need to label posts with “USA” when solely about USA in non-national communities.
Edit for the Ameruskis: Us is a fucking word. [USA] that so the rest of US don’t need to deal with your fucking banana republic shit all the time.

At this rate I’m not even sure if having the A would have helped you.
Yes. In the Us.
