If not then I have been misled by the "birth certificate" that showed the coat of arms at the head of that document. I went to Ancestry.ca which I subscribe to. In Births, Marriages and Deaths 1915 to the present date, there was no reading for Barack Obama. To test out the numerous entries for Obama is for later.
Happily one known Obama is shown. She is Auma Obama married to Ian Manners 1996 at Bracknell, Berkshire. This is already known and the certificate number is presented. Looking for the overall record of Barack Obama, the first entry under the whole range of Ancestry.ca, we find- which is already common knowledge this:
Barack Hussein Obama.
365 Broadway
Somerville, Massachusetts.
1988.
Of course this tells us but little. I note many entries for other names Obama, including border crossing entries. I am going to take a break for the afternoon, to trot down to the local public library. This for things birth wise in Canada.
No harm in tootling around the records (laughs).
Thanks for your courtesy in inquiring about this mutual interest in the birth story.
I’m not sure which document you are referencing with the coat of arms. We have so many now. The Republic date to which I refer was documented numerous times on this loooooooong thread. Kenya became an actual independent Republic in 1964, but they started using letterhead and news accounts started referring to Kenya as a Republic in the latter part of 1963. Actual Independance occurred in Jan. 1964.
Try finding that other name, “Onyonga”, or whatever...
The father of BO Sr was named “Onyonga” and either he or Sr changed it to Obama..
