The more I read (or try) these documents the more questions they seem to raise.
How could there have been a need to redact any information in the records since both parties are deceased. There is no expectation of privacy once someone is dead.
I raised this up-thread - why isn’t Obama mentioned by name or with any identifying information in any of the documents? What was used to determine his birth-date and residency? Would there be a need to determine a minor child’s citizenship if they are the child of an American citizen? Could there have been a question about that?
Why did SAD list to different dates of marriage to Lolo?

"National Security" is an exception to FOIA, and it's applied very broadly in practice.

They do list b(6), unwarranted invasion of privacy for the redacted paragraphs.
When reading them I was thinking these paragraphs may have been more detailed discussions of her supposed medical ailments. But as you point out, she is no longer living.
