Someone has already done that, and showed how the announcement did not quite “fit” the column spacing etc

Not to mention the timing of when this newspaper birth announcement was “discovered”, 40 days after the death of the final true resident of that address posted in the birth announcement.

I clipped my own child’s birth announcement the day it was published. I didn’t suddenly remember it 40+ years later

But I’m not going to go back and look up that research

Let’s just say I no longer trust web images of nonpaper, electronically stored documents - or any documents, really. That is up to a court of law.

Forgive me, but I didn't quite understand what you are saying .

I was suggesting looking at a copy of the newspaper at a library that would have copies of the newspaper the announcement would have been printed in. Are you saying that was found but appeared to have been altered? If that is the cause the "tracking information", including the date the microfilm was generated would be interesting. Someone could have replaced the library's copy but it doesn't seem likely.

Not to mention the timing of when this newspaper birth announcement was "discovered", 40 days after the death of the final true resident of that address posted in the birth announcement.

This, however, seems to indicate you are actually referring to a, more recent, "found" newspaper clipping, instead of one found on microfilm,.... please clarify.
