That's very interesting. I use different signatures for different
things. Just my first and last for most things, my first, maiden, and
last for others. For genealogy I use my I use my first, middle, maiden,
and current last names. But it would never occur to me to sign
something with an X. I have always assumed that a person who signed
with an X was illiterate. I thought that one who was literate _had_ to
sign his name. Am I totally off base here?
