What???!!! They threw it out.. I guess people just don't know what they are looking at
sometimes...About his parents names..I'm not sure, maybe it's a way of keeping
track of his family. I think this because my mother-in-law signs all her legal papers in
Portugal with her maiden name before her married name, but here the US she signs with only
her married name. I don't know if that helps...When naming children, children will
have both their mother's name and their father's name. I think this was cutomary
to have you parents names on legal documents, maybe as witnesses too..Just some ideas,
don't know for sure.
So we are like distant cousins then, eh? very cool.
