It is not true that the HI records dept placed the birth announcements in the paper. That has been claimed to be true, but in August 1961 the two newspapers had different numbers of births announced even on the same days, and the total of births announced in the papers was less than the total actual births.
Butterdezillion - I think I got this right. Just learning.
This was posted before on FreeRepublic:
“According to the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare’s records in Vital Statistics of the United States, 1961, a total of 2,022 white babies and 6,246 non-white babies were born in Honolulu that year in a hospital attended by a physician.

That’s a total of 8068 births in Honolulu in 1961.
AND EACH AND EVERY BIRTH WAS ANNOUNCED IN THE HONOLULU PAPERS? I DON’T BELIEVE IT!
It’s so very very important to the obamabots that we believe the annoucements were published as a result of lists being supplied by Vital Statistics to the newspaper -
CAN ANYONE SHOW ME WHERE EITHER PAPER PRINTED IN EXCESS OF ON AVERAGE, 150 ANNOUNCEMENTS PER WEEK!?”
On July 28,2009 the spokesperson (Okubo) for the Hawaiian Dept of Health stated that obama’s birth information was placed in the newspapers by the Health dept. in 1961. She stated that when private individuals placed announcements in newspapers ,they were in different sections and had more details.
You are correct.
I was born in Honolulu in 1968.
My birth was NOT posted/announced in any newspaper in Hawaii.
My parents didn't notify any newspaper about my birth. So it wasn't printed.
(My parents were front to back newspaper readers their whole adult lives. If it was there, they would have clipped it and saved it.
