Let's see if I can get this right:  The priests would not necessarily be protecting the identity of the father, more like the priest would have not sanctioned such an off-spring, and so the woman and child forever was "labeled" because of their parent's indiscretions.  However, on the other hand, where the Catholic Church and government often acted in unison - it meant that the illigitimate child and the mother never would have an opportunity to claim any inheritance from the father's family.

Helyn,

 

I like that one!  I'd like to hear what the guys have to say about all this.

Thanks everybody for your interesting feedback.  Another perspective
is that if an illegitimate child was born of an Indian woman without
a last name and a man with one, the child would be given the
father's last name by default.

Thanks - I always learn so much from this group.
