My granddad was born in 1907 in Buffalo, NY. He was born with the surname Nawrocki but the family later used Norwood.
I was excited to see this paper in my dad's box of special papers. I was surprised to see it was dated 1942.

| Should read Henry T. Nawrocki. There is a strange scribble after "Henry." |
I have to guess that the reason might have something to do with WWII. I also found these Baptism records, also dated 1942.
The witness, Frances Orloska, is Henry's aunt and sister to his mother Rose.
