Langdon:  I seem to have been in error for many years if your words are correct.  Thus, I and others on this list truly would like to know of your source(s) for the first statement in your advice given below, especially where an illegitimate child has been recognized/declared to be his own by the natural/birth father.  Thank you very much.  Paul
