The newspaper announcements are simply backup evidence (and pretty strong evidence, at that) for those who stubbornly refuse to believe the state’s certification of his birth.
You actually think that a newspaper birth announcement is “pretty strong evidence”??? And I’M crazy???
You do know too, of course, that the address in that birth announcement has been researched to the hilt and NO ONE in the family EVER lived at that address. Right?
Pretty strong evidence my arse.
