A US citizen born overseas will have a birth certificate from their country of birth and a Consular Report of Birth Abroad issued by the U.S. State Department. Records from 1910-1949 are available at the National Archives (https://catalog.archives.gov/id/2555709). Ancestry.com appears to have these records in their database.
