Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 17 Send Message	Hello can anyone help me on this plz? My ex-husband was born in England in 1936. On his fathers death another certificate of his birth was found among his fathers papers, but his fathers name was not on it, it was another man. My sister -in -law reng me a while ago and told me about this but begged me to keep it a secret, I did ask what the fathers name was she would not tell me. I did keep it a secret for a few years untill recently as I felt my children should know as we are doing our family tree for a reunion and they want to know who there unknown grandfather is. Was it possible to have two birth certs; or could another be done to cover up my ex husbands mothers affair, just a thought, silly I know but I cannot think of anything else. My ex husbands sister found out she is his step sister so yes there may be skellingtons in the closet. Plz can someone help. Regards Jean.
