I don’t know if anyone else has posted this, but it’s a genealogical line for David Jeffrey Bomford with the same parents as are listed on that birth certificate.

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.
Don’t know if this is relevant, but I did a WHOIS of the bomford.net and there is an email address for the owner. Tried to email and this is what I got

Anyone know what ‘that’ might mean?
