Hearsay - inadmissible unless you can find an appropriate exception.

Hearsay - inadmissible unless you can find an appropriate exception. If you claim she can testify to witnessing his birth in Kenya, call her as a witness so that the court can hear her testimony.
and the stories where his step-grandmother said he was a “son of the soil” in Kenya.
Yep, you're right. That's also hearsay. Find an appropriate exception.
The best way to prove something happened is to find a witness who can testify that they saw it happen.
None of what I posted is considered hearsay. Those are admissable forms of evidence. The “hearsay” is when you rely on so-called contemporaneous newspaper listings that don’t contain a place of birth, and records that have no legal value when they are neither certified and never entered into court.
