Reading notes
Things to be careful about
- Manual transcription created from the register image because local OCR tools were unavailable.
- The child is entered in surname-first order as "Armstrong Paul."
- The source names the mother by maiden name only as Effie Hill; the handwriting could also be read as "Epha" or "Alpha" Hill — current reading is Effie Hill.

Research notes
- Re-ingested from Transcript-15.pdf on 22 April 2026; citation corrected to Image Group 004017401 (Male Births register); PDFs restored to this register's content.
- A second Wood County register (Probate Court series, Image Group 004016727) also documents Paul's birth; see source-birth-register-probate-court-paul-edward-armstrong-1907.md.
- Linked to canonical Orpha Hill Armstrong after user acceptance of the 1941 Bradner Advocate obituary on 26 April 2026; the mother name remains transcribed as Effie Hill with Epha/Alpha alternatives.
- Accepted by user direction on 29 April 2026 for the specific image-backed birth-register facts it states; no canonical person relationship updates were made from this acceptance.
