Reclaiming Lost US Citizenship

Here is the situation with my friend's mother:

-Her father, a US citizen, registered her birth in one of the overseas US consulates in Asia shortly after her birth back in the 1930s.
-Unfortunately, her birth certificate was lost, but the picture of her on the certificate remains with her (with partial stamp left).
-She's never been to the US and was borned overseas.
-Her father's citizenship proof was not available since he's passed away for over 60 years and she doesn't have her father's citizenship certificate.

Question: Is there anyway for my friend's mother to have the overseas US consulate help her to check on her own birth certificate (US citizenship)? Or, is there any government office back in the US that can help to verify her citizenship since she needs to reclaim it?

Any information is highly appreciated. Thanks.
 
Thanks JoeF. btw do you know if the US consulate has a record of all kids whose birth was reported and then they will transfer the information back to the US continent later on?

The reason for my asking this is--iif my friend's mother couldn't dig out anything from the consulate overseas, then maybe she can get the help from somewhere back to the US governement. Can you refer some useful sources of contact? Her father had been living in California till passing away.

In all, finding evidence of her overseas birth report/evidence seems to be the only solution now. And having her full name and DOB (date of birth) will help, right?

Thanks again for your help.
 
Are there any government agencies that holds the birth information of US citizen kids born overseas?

Can anybody refer me the contact info. these agencies? (e.g. phone# address etc.). Thanks.
