“Did the US State Dept. contact the UK Foreign Office and request confirmation that Barry was documented to be a UK subject at birth? There is no evidence of that.
Only the UK could “confirm” that Barry was born a UK subject. However, under the 1948 BNA, UK citizenship passes _only_ to the legitimate children of UK subjects, and children of bigamous marriages are _not_ legitimate and would _not_ be UK subjects at birth.”
I did a UK FoIA request. But the UK government professed to know nothing.
In due time, the will pay for that lie.
In 1961, Kenyatta was released from prison right before Barry was allegedly born (in Kenya?) and independence was a forgone conclusion.
Did you find out (or does anyone else know...) whether copies of birth records from Kenya Colony and Protectorate were routinely sent back to the UK, or were they simply retained in the colony?
On the off chance that Barry was born in HI (Ha!) and BHO Sr. acted to get him recognized as a Kenyan UK subject, would the records of that recognition be in both the UK and Kenya, or just in Kenya?
I am wondering whether the mystery trip of BNO Sr. to HI in 1971 involved getting Barry recognized as a Kenyan citizen...a citizen of the newly independent Kenya and NOT a UK colony.
