The conclusion is that there were never an actual announcement that appeared in the papers!
So, we can safely surmise that when Lori Starfelt, the person who claims to have been the first to discover obama’s Honolulu Advertiser birth announcement, made this statement:
“In 1961, the hospitals would take their new birth certificates to Vital Records. At the end of the week, Vital Records would post a sheet that for the news paper to pick up that contained births, deaths, marriages and divorces. The Advertiser routinely printed this information in their Sunday edition. This is not a paid announcement that his grandmother could arrange. This is information that comes from Vital Records – we know this because this particular section reflects those records”
SHE WAS EITHER GROSSLY MISLED OR OUTRIGHT LIED!
SHE LIED! THERE WERE OVER A THOUSAND BIRTHS IN HONOLULU IN 1960 - LESS THAN HALF FOUND THEIR WAY ONTO THE BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS IN BOTH PAPERS. THAT STATEMENT FROM STARFELT WAS DELIBERATELY DESIGNED TO MISLEAD.
CORRECTION
of course I mean to write ‘in 1961’
see page 157 for total number of births in Hawaii 1961. Over 17 thousand!

How could the department of Vital Statistics force newspapers in Hawaii to PRINT THEM ALL?
