...I would more likely believe that the grandparents tax return WILL show little barry (or maybe he had yet another different name then) on their tax return because the grandmother leaked that they adopted this orphan boy after his mother died in 1970.

WHA? PLS. elaborate on this.

I recall reading that somewhere as well. I remember an article stating that exact comment, and it was curious because everyone knew that Stanley Ann didn't die until 1995.

OK, Fred Nerks said this in April 2011...
...in 1982 when Virginia Geoldner and her husband and children visited the Dunhams, Madelyn told the Goeldners that the boy they had been looking after, who was now on the mainland at college, had been living with them SINCE HIS MOTHER DIED IN 1970.

...talk here was about Barry’s REAL mother named Anna, (not Ann, or Stanley Ann)...

...but this 2008 story is confusing;
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2162856/posts
From FR in Jan 2009, (a reprint of the Maumee Monitor from Nov 13, 2008),
it also quotes that Barry’s mother died in 1970:
“Goeldner said her sister-in-law actually raised Barrack Obama, or Barry as they called him, when he was young, after his mother died in 1970.”

...But it also implies that Stanley Ann was his mother, who died an early death.

Most however historical records say Stanley Ann died in 1995 of ovarian cancer.

It is my guess that around the election, Virginia was ‘coached’ on how to re-tell that story.

We’ll have to ask Fred when he gets back from vacation, what he knows about the 1982 statement by Virginia Goeldner, and what he thinks of the 2008 variation.
