Exactly. And someone JUST HAD TO ADD (Stanley) and if they said negro instead of African it would have also been more believable. (Only a liberal would think AFRICAN)
I go by my middle name per family tradition, and that signature was the first thing that jumped out at me. I have never signed an official document with my middle name only, only to go back and add my first name in parentheses. That a signer would use parentheses at all is bizarre.
It’s as if someone familiar with the recent Ann/Anna Toot story felt the need to add “(Stanley)” in there to clarify things. None of the signatures appear original to the birth certificate, either. “(Stanley)” in particular seems to have been written, not signed.
Is it not true that ANY alterations or markings on an official document renders it void?
