To Chuck Pelto # 185.
An additional question or so:
[1] Is there a ‘raised’ seal on the certificate? Or an ink one? Something applied by the ‘local registrar’?
Not on mine; there is a attestation by the State Registrar and President of Board of Health (the last 2 signatures on mine that I refer to as ‘form’ signatures, that the copy is a true and correct copy of a Certificate of Live Birth on File.
[2] Any foot-prints?
If you mean seals, no.
[3] Is there any indication of the ethnicity of the parents? I notice that in the document offered by the Obama campaign, it lists the father as “African”. As opposed to “Negro”, “Negroid”, or “Black”. I found the use of “African” for the father as ‘odd’.
Yes, but no ‘blocks to check’. On mine father, mother and myself all have race: Causasian.
What I find interesting about the Obama Certificate that has been posted, and what appears to be missing, is the attestation by an attending physician that I was born at the date and time indicated on the form.
I also checked by wife’s and my children’s (all of whom were born in different states) and the one form of commonality between all theirs and mine is they all have an attestation from an attending physician that the child listed was born at the listed date and time. I would suggest those interested check their BC to see what’s on it.
I see no physician attestation on the form posted re: Obama. Now, clearly Obama was born, the question is where and when. The physicians attestation would end this issue, if there was one. If the attestation was/is blank, well, all that would be know is that said child was born, not where or when.
