"So let’s see—it’s a “long form” certificate? So the distinction is that it includes the footprint? - Because if it did, you ought to try and get him to appear and demonstrate his footprint. That would give us something to compare when and if we find a birth file that appears to have some validity (if ever).
"I assume the word “abstract” is there because the person who offered it didn’t include a footprint."

Think of abstract in regard to a real estate abstract.
The RE abstract notes each name date they registered the purchase with county—the book-page and any other location of the book it was registered in, a legal discription of the property and any lean against the property
It’s like a clif note
The abstract of a BC simply draws details again, pertinent names, location, where it’s registered etc. It does not contain actual signatures of the parties witness but may refer to them.
