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. If the father later acknowledges his child, the child's surname will change to that of his father. Remember this when searching in other records.<br><br> | If a child was born out of wedlock it will not usually mention a father, even if he is known.
