OK. Since I own two months worth of these announcements I can tell you that they were not publishing birth announcements daily. On average I would say the announcements were printed four days a week. Sometimes there were just a couple of them. Every once in a while a big list would go in, a hundred or so names, with a lot of addresses on the other islands.

The papers did not print the same names/same lists/whatever, in order a day or two apart like the lists that have obama’s name. In the two month range I have that’s the only time I found that to have happened. In fact the same names were not always printed in both papers.

SO - THE NAMES DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY GET PRINTED IN BOTH PAPERS.

And FredN - yes that is a copy of the Nordyke announcement I published, mine was cropped, and I can’t recall why - LOL, I don’t even know how I got the thing up on my blog back then, but I suspect I had the help of one of my kids. The copy was given to me by “Citizen Investigator” to post on my blog.

AND THAT WOULD BE BECAUSE NOT ALL PARENTS WANTED THEIR BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS IN BOTH PAPERS! AND THERE NEVER WAS SUCH A THING AS A VITAL STATS LIST!

SO WHO-EVER 'LORI STARFELT' WAS, THAT STARTED THE LIE!

WHOEVER 'SHE' WAS, WROTE:

“...What you know is that Texas Darlin’ has received an email forwarded from the Hawaii State Library that is a a clipping from the Honolulu Advertiser’s Sunday August 13th, 1961 edition that proves the Department of Vital Records provided a list of births for the previous week that included Barack Obama – that’s what you know.

AND I'M SAYING ... THAT IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE! THERE WAS NO LIST!

Are you saying above that the two Honolulu newspapers back in 1961 often published births that occurred and were registered on other Hawaii islands other than Oahu, the island where Honolulu is located?

I ask that question for this reason: Poster "curiosity" in another thread claims that the two Honolulu, Oahu newspapers where Obama's birth is supposedly listed, only published births that occurred on Oahu; that is, he claims that they did NOT publish births that occurred on other Hawaiian islands.

So could you tell me if poster "curiosity" is correct or not correct according to your research? Thanks.

From a newspaper kid, the announcements were used as fillers. If there was a big story taking up page space, then the announcement list that day would be smaller. If it was a slow news day, then the list would be long enough to fill in the page. You have your ads that brought in $ so those would be placed first here and there according to space allotment and then related news would surround them. Obviously, one paper would have more or less room than the other so the announcement lists would rarely match.

Has anyone searched the Washington papers for either a marriage or birth announcement? News of a hometown girl and recent high school graduate from far away exotic Hawaii would have been interesting in those days.
