Default Re: Genealogy & Family Stories

My dad’s 98. He has always celebrated his birth day as January 1. He always said he was born just after midnight. I got a copy of his birth certificate last year. It says he was born on Dec 31, 1908, not Jan 1 1909, and that his name is Gabriele not Gabriel. When I told him, he was mad, because it made him older and more ethnic than he thought he was.
