Maybe the intentionally obscured birth certificate says

Stanley Armour Dunham Second

There is definitely another word after Dunham.

There is definitely another word after Dunham.

I don't think there is. The person who filled in the birth certificate wrote big and with a flourish. Look at all the caps and how tall they are. Look at the final tails (don't know what else to call them) at the end of most of the words; they go out and up into the middle of the field space.

Compare the Dunham in the Father of Child field to the Dunham in the Name of Child field. In the father's name, the "un" in Dunham takes up a lot of horizontal space, similar to that in the child's name. After that, in the child's name, is the tall loop of the "h", then the hump of the "h" and the final "am". The writer still had a lot of space in that field to finish out the name and spread it out to use up all that space. There wasn't as much space in the father's name field, so the writer didn't write that hump and final "am" as spread out as in the child's name. Also, the extra background markings make the hump of the "h" and the final "am" difficult to distinguish in the child's name.

My 2 bits. Others may see it differently.

Say, this just arrived in FRmail about graphic at # 145.

>>>>Did notice in your post of Stanley’s BC that the City is tagged as Sedgwick and the County is tagged as Wichita.

Probably a small point, but it should be the reverse. Can’t read the BC. Tagging error?<<<<

Thanks, anonymous.
