*It will never say if the child is legitimate or illegitimate.


If a child was born out of wedlock it will not usually mention a father, even if he is known. If the child's parents do later marry and the father acknowledge the child as his, it will mention this in the margin.At that time the last name of the child will also change from the mother's last name to the father's last name. However this does not mean that he is the biological father!. If the child is illegitimate, but the father is named, there is no reason to suspect false paternity.
