“Some collector needs to come up with original 1961 copies of those Honolulu newspapers- just fantasizing”

Why not just mosey down to the area library and look it up on microfilm, bet you could even print a copy? Verifying how it got in there, if it exists, would be a little more complicated.

Someone has already done that, and showed how the announcement did not quite “fit” the column spacing etc

Not to mention the timing of when this newspaper birth announcement was “discovered”, 40 days after the death of the final true resident of that address posted in the birth announcement.

I clipped my own child’s birth announcement the day it was published. I didn’t suddenly remember it 40+ years later

But I’m not going to go back and look up that research

Let’s just say I no longer trust web images of nonpaper, electronically stored documents - or any documents, really. That is up to a court of law.
