Yeah, fortunately they do have living relatives that should be (may be) able to positively identify Joey's parents, rather than relying strictly on documentation.
I, for one, would LOVE to have a transcript of the PC to refer to.
Because the family is denying it even though the geneologist confirmed that identity was the same name as on the birth ceritficate. If the family was not connected by name they wouldnt say anything.. Ww would never know who it was
If the PC was on YouTube, there's often an automated transcript along with it (under the info area). That might be a help to you. Thank you so much for offering to do this!!Yeah, fortunately they do have living relatives that should be (may be) able to positively identify Joey's parents, rather than relying strictly on documentation.
Oh, I'm offering.I read through the other thread and I figure it might be helpful to have a transcript for those that might not have been able to listen or can't remember what was said. I'll get to it now.
Yes and it is not the area it once was. My goal is to find out where The father worked. The boy was found on the of the road. It was more rural then but still not a busy street. I was there about 20 years ago standing outside. There are houses across the street from where he was found now. When they give him his name on his stone I am going to visit.
I Dont think so. I think it means they were divorced or One had kids coming into the marriage. Step children.
My dear friend too. Unmarried teen Mom. The baby, my pal, was adopted to an uncle and aunt who could not have babies.
I had difficulty hearing the reporter's questions. Mr Smith was so strict and seemed like he would rather not be there. Hopefully, there will be a breakthrough into who little Joe lived with, and who was the weak minded person that beat that baby to DEATH
Of course ancestry dna would tell you that you match your children.. I speak from absolute knowledge of recent immigration from Italy and how the matches reflect on ancestry dna. It’s possible a potential bf was a first generation Italian American, making Joseph only a second. The more recent you are to immigration, the less matches you will have. That is a fact. This can be true for any ethnic background. Cases involving Mexican and Norwegian descent , for example , can also be very difficult. Most people in Italy do not test on ancestry dna let alone upload to ged match. That is why they found the biological father through a document and then tested dna with the child and found the mother through dna matches solely. Again, remember that dna researchers cannot use mainstream ancestry dna and rely on ged match which has way less matches.
Based on today's presser (and the divorce stats you mention about RC divorce in the 50's), I'd say #1 is the more likely answer & mom put dad's name on the BC, whether dad or his family knew anything about it or not.
He had surgical scars on an ankle and groin, and a scar under his chin. I don't know if hospital records were gone through, but one fingerprint investigator, William Kelly, scoured through footprint records and couldn't find his. Begs the question, home birth?
Not to mention all that spidery handwriting... I had a few hacks at tracing my forebears through the last available ancestry.com US census (1890? 1910?) And... they're messes. Anyone with sharp eyes can tell you that some people/sources used underwhelming OCR programs and did not bother to check them with the naked eye.
RBSBM: Huge clue, in my book.
