I keep reading the State of Hawai’i sent announcements to the newspaper, the implication being this is the ONLY way an announcement would appear. Five points:
1. How do we know this to be true?
2. If true, is there any reason why the paper wouldn’t accept an announcement from a proud grandparent or party other than State of Hawai’i? Or that the State would accept information- even verbal from Granny Dunham and relay the information to the paper?
3. I thought there was evaluation somewhere that indicated the announcement was modified. Don’t have a link- lost.
4. If the announcement was modified, is there a way it could have been copied onto microfilm for storage or the microfilm altered/replaced?
5. Why are so many people insisting a newspaper birth announcement confirms or validates his heretofore unsubstantiated birthplace claim, in lieu the primary source document of a birth certificate?
The last point makes no sense. Why go with a newspaper account, [we KNOW how accurate they can be, lol], rather than a primary document?
I can only conclude that whatever ‘vital records’ are extant in Hawai’ian files, none are of a nature to establish Obama’s NBC bona fides.
You can add to your excellent list, ‘why are the entries not in alphabetical order, or order by days of birth, or in order of birth cert numbers? And, why the Nordyke twins are not listed yet were born within hours after barry and have supposedly lower birth cert numbers than the one claimed for Barry. The entires are totally jumbled.
