Oliver - loliver@tyler.net > You can add it as a separate file, not to the main file. I don't know the answer on delayed birth records. My father's amended birth record shows his adopted surname of Morgan. That is the one you get if you write to Austin. The record in Randall County shows his surname as Markham. He was born in 1922, so his is not in the batch the state put online. I upset somebody yesterday because I refused to correct his birth record as recorded by the state. His last name is Graves and the state had it as Groves. David dmorgan@efn.org David W.
