    Hi guys,

    This is a strange one. I was looking at my birth cert the other day and it seems that in the section for surname there is a strike through it. I intend to travel to dublin next week to see the original but if it is not there legally who am I?

    I'm not sure, but I don't think old birth certs recorded your surname, only those of your parents. There are rules in place for interpreting the birth cert.

    that or you will need to log in as "Coded" from now on.

    Older than about 4 years when they changed the rules. www.gro.ie

    I think in your case, strictly speaking you take your mother's name, but you can through usage take the other.

    There you are then, you could if you so wish adopt your mothers name or a hyphenated version of both.
