Subject: [ROOTS-L] Re: Legal and Birth Father

 
Previous message:
<<What if the parent is married to one person and has another's  child. The  
Birth certificate reads the Husbands name, but if you  follow that line then 
you  
loose the true lines of the child. Example:  John Doe and Mary Doe are the  
married couple. Mary has an affair  resulting in the illegitimate child. Name 
on  
birth certificate is Doe.  In later years both the mother and Birth father 
tell 
the child the truth but  never alter the birth certificate. So do you note on 
the  child who the  legal father is and do the search on the birth fathers 
line. Boy  what  a can of worms this has presented.>>
 
  My daughters in Texas were born to their father and I, while we were  
married.  We divorced and they were adopted by my second husband.  I  didn't 
realize that when he adopted them, their official birth registration  would be 
changed!  My second husband was legally married to  someone else when they were 
born.  What a mess!  It cannot  be changed back despite the fact that the second 
husband and I later  divorced.  Both of them later legally changed their 
surname  a third time by taking my maiden name.  I just made a note about all  of 
this, mentioning the years in which they were known by each  surname.  Four 
surnames and they have only been married once!  
  Your situation is the same, but a little different.  Just  explain it in 
your notes.  
  P. S. The child isn't illegitimate because his/her mother was  married when 
he/she was born.
