I wouldn't characterize a one-time typo or brain-f*rt by an underling setting up a webpage as either an admission or evidence of anything.

Hmmmm.....

Getting his birthdate wrong more than one time (off the top of my head I can think of four times, aside from the FB page), and on his FB page, is a mere "brain fart".

Saying he was born in Kenya on a literary promotional page for 16 years - mere oversight by editor.

No photos of SAD with baby until Zero was at least 2 1/2 - the family wasn't the photographing kind. Despite the fact that several photos of SAD and baby Maya have turned up. No, they weren't the photographing kind...

No evidence SAD was in HI until 1963 - "Oh yes there is" even though provenance and authenticity is so dubious as to be useless.

"SAD was too in Seattle" - a forged transcript and a few changing stories from "old friends" who just happen to be 0bama for President supporters.

Pi** poor track record, I'd say.

“Saying he was born in Kenya on a literary promotional page for 16 years - mere oversight by editor.”

The birth date is a separate matter from where Barry was born, but alternative narratives must coherently account for both date and place, or try to narrow down the range of both date and place.

Barry, himself, has only hearsay knowledge of where and when he was born and to whom absent an authentic BC, so what Barry has said about his date and place of birth must be backed up by secondary sources.

As you point out, for 16 or so years he had a very public birth narrative associated with his books of having been born in Kenya. There is no comparable consistent alternative birth date given by Barry or his agents that I have seen. Making note of those specific alternative ages and birth years should be done because it might reveal possible motives for having done so.

Except Trowbridge said Mom was related to Fred Newton Communist leader?
