Hi Green! Don't lose to much sleep over it, the entire file is full of it. The simplest explanation might be that he changed his birth year to coincide with the mistake made initially. We've been led to believe this document is a fake, but if it isn't, if what we see here was the initial attempt to lodge an application for a birth certificate which might give rise to a birth announcement in the Honolulu papers, then this is the first time he's shown to have a birth year of 1936.
We have to keep in mind that the regulation mentioned on the bottom of that item didn't come into force until the early eighties iirc. Maybe Madelyn (per grandmother) attempted, unsuccessfully or successfully...to obtain a COLB on the strength of it.
And 'birthplace Kenya' might just be there because it doesn't point to where he was really born. In other words, what we are looking at could be a report of an out-of-state birth, of a child whose mother and father we have no idea who they were.
It’s too early in the day for a headache...
August 31, 1961. He’s got a birth year of 1934.
That makes him 27 three weeks after the Hawaii Miracle Birth. But the LFGBC SHOWS HIM AS 25. (As does the document with the ‘per grandmother’ notation)
April 21, 1964. His birth year shows as 1936.
