TY; not easy to make sense of this briefing.
Below apparently from genealogical records-—a very weak source, but OTOH neither Ruth or BHO, Sr ever claimed they were married in Kenya to my knowledge.
I started wondering about this line of inquiry with Leo’s announcement about the index -— “bride” “groom” & whether that would necessarily require a “bride-groom” relationship existed between BHO, Sr & Stanley Ann or whether it could also indicate that each had a “bride-groom” relationship to two other individuals.

Just how trustworthy is that site & therefore their information? They seem to be claiming that Sr.'s "marriage" to SADO isn't legal/valid because he was already married to someone in the US and NOT in Kenya!?!? Weird, cause the "4th" wife appears to be the one he married first. Why isn't that married listed as "1st" wife?
