You aren’t asking questions. You are assuming things. Such as a BC being REQUIRED before a DC can be issued. That is wrong. The birth info is needed yes, but not the BC.

Such as MAE definitely meaning something other than a name. If it DID, it would apply to both masculine and feminine names. I don’t find this to have been the case. If you can show one example of this I will jump on your bandwagon with the whole MAE thing.

I’m not asking you to jump on any bandwagon.

...The birth info is needed yes, but not the BC.

And how is birth info transmitted? A telephone call, a Memo, or a hospital record of birth that accompanied the infant when it was transferred from Wahiawa? I can imagine the mother going with the child, but not that the infant would be transferred from one hospital to another without any identification.

If all rests on the child NOT having a birth certificate written up when she was born, a document that attested to her live birth, then that's simply shutting the door so that no more questions can be asked.

You've got me totally perplexed, if no birth certificate was required for an infant who died one day after birth, why did they raise an AMENDEMENT two weeks later, with a certificate number 400+ in the future?

Where might the information on the COLB have come from? But I did say I was going to leave it there...so carry on without my silly questions.
