If a child was born out of wedlock it will just not mention a father, even if he is known. If the child's parents do later marry and acknowlegde the child as theirs, 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.<br>Remember, this means also that when you enter the surname (last name) of this illegitimate child you have to make it an "or" name - born as "van der VEER" but later became "van WAGENAAR" - "van der VEER '''''or''''' van WAGENAAR".<br>If you do not do this others will have a very hard time finding that person in the original records of births as the child is not born as van WAGENAAR and thus not found in any index as such, nor when you look for the date of birth. <br>On the other hand, if you put only the birth name down, you will not find him/her in any of the marriage or death indexes or records.
