Sign up just to post that? It’s your only post so far after signing up today.

While interesting, it needs expansion. It’s a might on the cryptic side. “

I found this comment interesting, even if from a new user. I googled it down and it cam from a comment on TexasDarlins blog.

I tracked the poster back to this blog.

He/she doesn’t look like a crank. The posts on USCAN blog are very intelligent and thoughtful. Any thoughts on this of how we can confirm or refute it?

I found the author of this post and she emailed me back today. She confirmed that she indeed did as described in her post. She seemed on the up & up to me. Posts all over the internet definately conservative & anti obama. Not an obot. I believe her.

Here's the website of the National Library of Australia And a photo of it:

Someone in Canberra needs to check it out. Here's a Map

The "Kenya Dominion Record" might be a newspaper.

But I don't trust drive by posters, and JimColt still hasn't posted anything else after signing up on the 5th. Plus no one, including me, seems to be able to find any "Kenya Dominion Record". If it was a newspaper, surely there would be some reference to it somewhere. WAIT ONE I found a reference to the Kenya Record, which is called a "Journal/Newspaper", but only published from 1978.

Here's another possible source for the same information.

Annual report of the Registrar-General

But in either case, you'd have to be in Canberra to go look at them. Best call ahead as they say all the pre 1990 stuff is "off site", so you might to either go "off site", or they might go get it for you, which would take time.
