On-going USCIS problems

Brenda Ballard the assistant to our congressman Bob Inglis called this evening. I think at the beginning even she thought there was nothing we could do other than go to court to get a name change. (Which makes no sense. What would he do, take his birth certificate to a judge and tell the judge I need a court order: Please change my name to the name that is on my birth certificate!)

This is not something you can explain very well over the phone. We have an appointment with her tomorrow morning in Greenville. Hopefully when she sees all the paperwork it will make sense to her.

Jeff talked to Vital Records in Michigan and they told him in 1959 it was common to walk in to the county clerk's office and have an incorrect birth certificate corrected. His mom did this two days after she got the original with the spelling error.
