    2. Just a small note.....This birth certificate wasn't filed until 1943 so it's very possible that the birth mother, Rosalie Campbell, was not the informant. You only need two witnesses to sign a form, who were around when you were born, when filing for a delayed birth certificate. Lynda In a message dated 12/3/2010 9:01:28 A.M.

    3. Another thing I have found with the Wolfe county courthouse fires and loss of information was the re-issuance of certificates around the war.  Some 16 year olds suddenly became 18 or older in order to sign up for the war (or marry one going off to war) so I am skeptical of certificates directly after Pearl without some backup information.  A lot of nicknames or "new" names went into the system at that point.
