- ↑ Armstrong said he wisna sur exactly when he wis born, but celebratit his birthday on Julie 4. He uisually gae the year as 1900 when speakin in public (althou he uised 1901 on his Social Security an ither papers filed wi the govrenment). Uisin Roman Catholic Kirk documents frae when his grandmither teuk him tae be baptised, New Orleans muisic researcher Tad Jones established Armstrong's actual date o birth as August 4, 1901. Wi various ither pieces o collaborative evidence, this date is nou acceptit bi Armstrong scholars. See an aa age fabrication. Armstrong haed na middle name, but a 1949 Time magazine profile unoffeecially gae him the middle name o Daniel. The census an baptismal records confirms he haed na middle name.
