    James, the certificate I have is a duplicate of baptismal information made out in 1927 the Foundling. My grandfather had requested it that year; from this I inferred that perhaps he may never have received an original.

    His name is lister as Joseph Dernier.

    The certificate reads: "This is to certify that Joseph Dernier

    Sorry - I must have "added" before I was ready.

    ...Born on the fifteenth day of February 1892 and Baptised on the sixteenth day of March 1982 according to the rites of the Holy Catholic Church by Rev. J. B. McGovern, O.P. Of St Vincent Ferrer's Catholic Church of New York.

    New York, July 5, 1927 Rev. W. G. Moran, O. P.


    I noticed that the birth date assigned to my grandfather was the date he was "admitted" to the Foundling --- even though he was considered to be approximately one month old. Doctors came on a regular basis to the Foundling to determine the age and physical well being of the babies.

    Don't know if any of this helps.

    James, it's been some time but today I stopped in the GenealogyWise website to see what new developments or information there are here. While reading a group page discussion, I saw reference to the Michael DeGroote article in the Mormon Times, and it piqued my interest. Of course, then I saw your counterpoint blog entry about the article and I had to read that as well. Several blog entries later, I am hooked on your Genealogy's Star blog site, your writing style, and the range of genealogical topics you cover there. In particular, I have taken away some very useful guidance as to photo storage media from your 26 July entry. Just wanted you to know I am enjoying your blog site. Okay, yes, that makes me a groupie, I guess. Best regards, Sue
