The child born then had been listed with an exact date of birth, then the other previous children listed by name, without dates. As a result, they all appeared in the IGI as born on that date! The only answer is to read the actual entry in the OPR microfilm. Gordon. ****************************** Gordon Johnson, Aberdeen, Scotland.
