His first name was handwritten and his middle and last names were typed. Also, there was a stamp noting it had been altered with noting the change was based on the mother's supplemental report and the date of the change. When I wrote Vital Statistics to get a copy of the report, I was told "we do not have the supplemental report on file."<br />I'm sure the error was discovered when he enlisted in the service toward the end of WWII as his enlistment year and the year of the change were the same. It just amazes me they never had an instance where they needed his birth certificate before he turned 18!Tanya Simmons Weisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199181619816875692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266495682245162271.post-64409204042229613202013-04-09T10:43:15.962-05:002013-04-09T10:43:15.962-05:00It is hard to tell when using black and white imag...It is hard to tell when using black and white images--only if the handwriting is clearly different can one be certain.
