What happens when a person is adopted - is their name removed from the Birth Registers and replaced by their adopted name? I have been searching for a KNOWN NAME in the Beta B.M.D. or Ancestory and cannot find it. Yorkie i think a new entry is made as a new birth certificate is issued with the new name! but thats in recnet times! Mellie How Come My Coat Of Arms Has Buckles At The Back?
