The people who owned and resided in the house on Kalanianaole Hwy. in Honolulu, which is the address listed in the birth announcements for Barack Obama.

When the two copies of papers were posted people began to say that the address used was the home of the Dunhams, or that it was where Obama Sr had lived. The truth is that the home was owned by Orland Scott and Thelma Jones Lefforge Young. He was a professor at the Speech Department at UH at Manoa, but at this time we do not know when he returned to teach there. He had taught there in the late 40’s, and was also coach of the debating team, before he went to UW at Madison to work on his Phd. He received his Phd in Speech from UW at Madison in 1953 but UH at Manoa has not responded to an email asking when he returned to teach there. He had left UH at Manoa by 1967 when he was in Washington, D.C. as an assistant to Sen Inouye.
