Sierra Leone Batch [M36L-TSZ]. Entry 3 Child's name might begin with an (e). If that is the case the second letter could be a (j).

    @Harmon, James Bartlett This is just my opinion but I think the first letter isn't capitalized and looks like the @ sign to me and the child's name starts with the (J).

    opinion: In the Mother's name column - two columns over - it looks like her last name begins with the same letter - T or F or perhaps a G. It looks like there is a scroll on each.

    If you look on the first row under occupations the f in farmer is the same.

    That would make the name Fathmarther or something very close depending on how you interpret some of the other squiggles!

    a's at the end of a Sierra Leone name frequently look like that but it has to be an (a) Fathmartha is how I will leave it. The first letter is definitely a F. Look at the two occupations at the top.
