I wanted to send this correction along to the list. Thank you Avanell. This is the kind of correction that I love to see. I will add this as a footnote to my database immediately. This kind of mistake in the sex of a child was not uncommon. In my own birth announcement in the local paper, It was announced that I was born a girl, but when I was discharged from the hospital a week later, I was listed as a boy. That should keep my descendants guessing.
