turbo-1 said:There is NO indication that the birth certificate on file with the Department of Health is not a witnessed certificate of live birth. None. That's the kind of unsubstantiated speculation upon which the birthers base their unsubstantiated claims. Normally, when somebody makes outlandish claims, the burden of proof falls on them, but birthers are not exactly rational creatures.
1. Well, there isn't preserved a witnessed birth record, is there?
2. Did birth certificates in the 60s differ in form, whether the birth record came from the hospital directly to make the basis for the certificate, or that the mother came to the office personally to request a birth certificate?
3. How long are hospitals required to store birth records, if at all?
