His birth is recorded on page 430 of the Birth Register for the City of Worcester for the year 1919, a copy of which I obtained from the Massachusetts Registry of Vital Records.

-
The name of the canvasser and the date the return was obtained were not provided
-
The Canvasser’s Return of a Birth was filed in Jan 1920 as attested by W. Henry Towne, Registrar
The Canvasser’s Return of a Birth was used to record Joseph Danko’s birth because he was born at home and the birth had not been previously recorded.
The name of Joseph’s mother is listed as Mary Guginski .  Nearly every document spells Mary’s name differently .  Other documents list her first name as Maria, Marya or Marianna, and list her surname as Dziura, Dziurzynski, Dziurzyńska, Dziurznska, Ginsky, Dzevirzynska, Jusuka, Dzuizynski, Dziwrzynski, Durzinski, and Dzinski . Whew!
