Yesterday, I spent some time looking up the field titles on the fake certificate. I kept getting led to discussions of Australian genealogy. Dang! I gave up too soon. If I'd kept at it, I might have turned up the forger's template last night.
Given the apparent high quality of the fake, I had figured the forger probably started with one or more paper copies of Kenyan birth certificates. But it looks like he just googled up a good quality image of an Australian BC and took it from there.
Based on the genealogy links for David Jeffrey Bomford, I’m pretty sure his birth cert is the real thing.
However, the initial stories about this Kenyan birth certificate say that other Kenyan birth certificates at the same time are on the same template. I’m not ready to say it’s a fake based on the two birth certs sharing the same template.
But, the two last names and some numbers being the same are pretty fishy.
BUT, a while ago everyone thought the numbers 47044 were pretty fishy because of the coincidence of them matching up the 0bama’s presidency number.
