Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 339 Send Message	This morning I recieved a birth certificate, in the name of the mother section it says Louisa Kennedy late_____ formerly______ ( the lines mean that I cant read the names yet). Does this mean she was married before and if so which would be her birth name?
