Outside the Box

I grabbed this from the Welcome Thread because I would like to have a lively conversation for all the members about it.

I am presuming COLB/BC is for Certificate of Lading/Billing and Birth Certificate.

This does initiate a great discussion.

Certificates were used in England to confirm pedigree as well as issues of successors and heirs.
This one book I was reading says the birth certificate assures rights for the child. I interpreted this to mean it assures privileges for the child.
