Harold and Anita,

I suspect some of the usual posters on this list are still plowing through 
the last few days' posts, perhaps deleting anything under this subject.

In Virginia, for several decades during the 20th century, there was a real 
jerk in charge of birth registrations. He set his mind to eliminating all 
Native Americans, and accordingly, listed all people who were not 100% white 
as colored or "mulatto". All Native Americans born under his "reign" were 
mulatto. I believe the man's name was Plucker, but I am not at all sure.

A few governors back, all the injured parties were allowed to correct their 
birth records and receive a free copy of their corrected birth certificate.
