mistaken identity
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2016 2:30 pm
A Home Teacher (in our Ward) went by to see someone for the first time recently, they told the HT that they had the wrong person.
the person said:
1. his middle name was wrong on our records.
2. his records had the wrong birthdate.
3. insisted we had the wrong person, he is not a member of the church, nor never has been. he has been a Catholic his whole life.
i looked at his records and it shows him being baptized in 1983... he is 64 yrs old to date, so that would mean that he was 30 yrs old at the time of a baptism (he certainly would remember that at that age). his records also show no other relatives of any kind. he insists it is a case of mistaken identity (that is how the HT feels also).
what do you suggest i do? my Bishop didn't know what to do, so i thought i'd ask here in case someone has come across this situation before.
thank you
