[edit] Middle Name
Victor Aldridge Sr. (Vic Aldridge) had no middle name. His mother's maiden name, Eddington, is sometimes mistakingly listed as his middle name, or "E." as a middle initial. It has been suggested that he, at times, used this middle initial because he felt it filled his name out. To that extent, when his son was born, he was determined he would have a full monogram and bestowed a middle initial (Victor E. Aldridge, Jr.). Approximatly 50 years later, a grandson was born and Vic Jr. decided to take the naming convention a step further, but he and his wife were unable to decide upon a suitable middle name, finally choosing to drop the period, giving me the obscure middle name of "E". My name is Victor E Aldridge III. Alas, even MY birth certificate is wrong because the person filling it out made the same assumption most people do and made it an initial.
I have no sources aside from family lore in the form of direct conversations with my father and my sister. I am not sure what method needs to be done to substantiate and legitimitize my claim, but I've altered this entry three times now because of this issue. Any assistance would be appreciated.--Lonadar (talk) 23:36, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Birth Location
I altered the birth location from "Crane, Indiana" back to Indian Springs because that is the closest community to where he was born. The entire area of Indian Springs / Cale is fairly rural in southern Indiana. He grew up in Cale and then later moved to Terre Haute. I have no verificable or citable sources aside from my own knowledge of our family history. --Lonadar (talk) 23:36, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
