if you look at the top two rows of images, which are roughly in order of age, you will see she never had long hair...

Could use your help and opinion...on the bottom, see the girl SIXTH FROM THE LEFT, MIDDLE ROW...enlarged on the bottom right hand side...

Can anyone see a resemblance to Stanley Ann Dunham?

It’s hard to tell with the fuzziness. I could say there is not a strong UNresemblance; chin sort of similar shape but not quite as large. Narrow-ish somewhat downward (outward) slanting eyes. Both appear to have a long slender neck. The girl in the middle picture does not appear to have the dramatic eyebrows.

The girl you ask about has an oval shaped face, and SAD has an elongated heart shaped face. SAD smiles with the corners of her mouth slightly down-turned (see six and seven), girl in question has corners upturned. This type of thing is naturally occurring due to facial structure. Both have receding hair-lines and thin necks. Girl in question does not have a pronounced brow. This is a genetic trait. SAD has a very pronounced brow. Girl in question seems to be more fair-haired. Perhaps even red-headed? But not true blonde, but maybe dirty blonde. SAD clearly has dark hair. Earlobes look similar and look similarly located. Picture too blurry to really compare noses and eye slant.

In looking at photo #13, SAD’s senior photo, I have to offer how things were back in the early sixties. I’m from that relative age group, plus I was raised in Washington state, only on the eastern border with Idaho.

We had our senior pictures taken in the fall of the year. This was a requirement so our pictures would be published in the school yearbook which were distributed in late May near graduation time. We had a fall cut-off date to submit our photographs to the yearbook publishers.

I remember that I had mine in hand before Christmas of ‘62 and gave one to my girl friend (and later wife) for Christmas. I was a member of the class of ‘63. My sister was a member of the class of ‘60 and the same situation occured for her.

So, based on personal experience, SAD’s senior photo was taken in the fall of ‘59. To me, SAD’s photo sure isn’t flattering IMHO, but I guess a photographer is limited with what they have for a subject. But, given the fact that one chooses a picture from several proofs, surely there had to be a much better pose than what she chose.

According to the family, Obama’s father travelled to America to study at the University of Hawaii in 1959. While there, he worked for an oil company and married his second wife, a white woman, named Anna Toot, and their union produced Barack Obama Jr.

Obama’s book says Obama Snr left his family in Hawaii after winning a scholarship to study in Harvard when his son was two years old.

The marriage later broke up after Anna’s father opposed it, according to Mama Sarah.

“Anna’s father was furious about the marriage and threatened to have Obama Snr expelled from the university. Our son sent us letters, pleading that we intervene to save the marriage,” remembers Sarah.
