Maybe someone addresses this already, but here goes:
If the HI DoH (Or vital records,etc) recorded births elsehwere according to the mother’s usual residence, why did he resort to a forgery? I can think of numerous reasons, but if (as seems to be stated on this excerpt, will read the linked article in a bit) the author is assuming that BHO is the son of the Kenyan and Stanley Ann, and was therefore born with the name BHO, why would there have been any need to fabricate a forgery?
Very astute question. We are shown here how easy it is for a foreign born child to obtain a certification of live birth in Hawaii. Even the name of the parents need not be right, and where the mother gave birth need not be shown apparently...neither is any confirmation from a delivering doctor or midwife required...all she had to do was make a statement she had resided in one place in Hawaii for a certain period of time.
A father? Just fill in the appropriate line, and there you have it. 'Proof' of birth in Hawaii on any date you wish to name.
So why the need for a fake? I have an idea...it's got to have something to do with the 'application' lodged on the same date as the birth/death announcement for Virginia Sunahara appeared in the Hawaii papers, it's got to have something to do with a birth certificate for Virginia that would show the same number as zero is using...and the fact that who-ever lodged that application showed his birthplace as Kenya.
Why Kenya? Kenya was a ruse. Because if we could now see the overseas airline arrivals between August 1, 1961 and August 9, 1961, we would see the real names of his parents (or discover who brought him into the US) and discover what country he really came from. His name wasn't BHO2 until after he landed at that airport.
NOT lodged by Madelyn Dunham, she would have known how to spell her own name and the name of the street.
This is probably the application lodged on the very same day the Virginia Sunahara birth/death announcement appeared.
A Kenya birth would not have presented a problem at the time, but the combination of the certification number and the place of birth - required a forgery imo.
NOT lodged by Madelyn Dunham, she would have known how to spell her own name and the name of the street.
This could be the 'half-typed, half-written' document.
as for his real father- you decide:
