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.
