Speakeasy forum: As long as we're discussing public information

only run when someone from the family provides the information for the annoucement. Or in you case, one of the parents should submit the name. Otherwise, just report the number born in the city,county, etc, on a day, week, or whatever statistical basis you want, no names, no identifying information.

You use to have to go down and search the books, now a lot of it is online. It's convenient but there are those drawbacks to too many people having them.

Even in a, hmmmm, less techonological advance area like here, I can go online and get the name and address and tax evaluation price for every piece of land listed in the county tax rolls.

It's good when you want to know who to contact, but can't you imagine where such isn't so good? The land behind me is divided into housing lots on the county map even though it's still farmed as one piece. The owner lives 2 hours away, but her name and address are listed.

his name be on the birth certificate, even if the couple had separated before conception and the biological father claimed the child.

Even if I dislike the intrustion, I can see the (actual) father's name being required for the reasons you mentioned.

I was surprised to find that still came on.

Was flipping through channels and went by it. It's even crazier than Jerry Springer.

(I confess to having watch Springer when it was late night a few times years ago.)
