This may seem like a daft question but having just received 2 birth certificates that I had sent off for I am having trouble deciphering some of the initials. |

Could it maybe be for SWF either surname of wife's father or surname of woman's father? Only a suggestion!! |

The green form that came with a marriage certificate carries AFNM=Thomas. Think this means the groom's father was named Thomas. |
