My link didn’t go to a book. It went to an article.
The article points out that the Cold Case Posse made claims that were completely untrue. It includes links to claims made by the Posse, links to absolute proof that they tried to pass off images from documents dated 1968 and 1969 as being from the 1961 manual, and a link to an article by a fellow FReeper who actually found the actual manual they claimed to have, and showed that it didn’t say any such thing as what they claimed it said.
Find the manual the list ‘African’ as a race and there may be something of a discussion.
The primary purpose of the information on birth certificates was for statistical collection. Hence why most states LFBCs look amazingly alike. It is also why there are hand written numbers in the fields of most LFBCs from most states from the period. These were keypunched onto IBM punch cards for statistical collection. Clerks could not make up things for the fields. Only the codified could be used.
The article is another hit job by a proven fraud.
The statistics were collected over time and the fields were the same for long periods. African was never a codified race in the statistics during the period.
The 9’s of the fake LFBC are very telling. They tell us no father was really listed if those marks are correct. The 9’s are a serious, serious problem. They prove fraud by themselves.
