Can I notarize a document if the affiant is not present, but I have a witness willing to swear a notarized oath that they saw the affiant sign the document?

No! You can never, under any circumstances, perform a notarization if the person for whom you are notarizing is not there.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
