The research on his mother's side is actually quite extensive and can be found here. The research on his Daddy's side, what little is available, is also at www.wargs.com.

I am most pleased to note that although one branch of my family has been in the U.S.A. since 1640 (MA, Martha’s Vineyard), NONE of the names I am familiar with from my family tree are mentioned on THAT family tree.

I am blessed.

If the very first line is false, then what can you say about the rest?

Maybe, but the point is we can't 100% be positive Stanley was Obama's mother or that Obama Sr. was his father, without a primary source document.

I am a genealogist myself and you need to first verify through a primary source (birth certificate, baptism record, etc. etc.) an individuals direct parentage and place of birth before proceeding any further with a 'lineage'. If that can't be done there is no authoritative tree.

What Obama posted is not a credible primary source document as it is a computer image not a paper document that can be examined for authenticity. Add to that the very likely reality that it is a forgery makes it even less authoritative.

In my opinion the Mormons should know this. So they really, really, REALLY screwed up on this one. Now all their credibility on matters of genealogy just went out the window.
