I wasn't going to add anything, but need some help on this one. My Dad was born in Alabama. We never knew who who's his father was. This is my information for help. Applying for his Draft card, he gives no middle name. On one of my sister's Delayed Birth Certificate his middle name is Malcome. On my other sisters Delayed Birth Certificate his middle name is Manuel. My mother gave the information on the one sister, an aunt gave a different name on the other. Alabama has no record of my dad's birth. Records destroyed in fires. My dad usually went by A.M. Mathison. First name spelled correctly, Agret. Wrong, Aggritt, Agrot, Agritt, and no telling how many more ways. You all think you have problems, I'd sure appreciate some help too.
