:: there was a birth notice in the Hawaii Newspaper at the time. ::
BDZ worked that over. The newspapers depended on the family for birth notices, not the hospitals.
I find that highly unlikely since the Dept of Health had ALL the birth records. A news person would just go to the D of H and get all them to put in the paper.
The first laws requiring reporting of births and marriages began in 1842, but many of those early records have not survived. In 1896, the Department of Health was given the responsibility for registering births.
The Department of Health has the following records of birth: Hawai'i: 1877-date Kauai & Niihau: 1896-date Maui & Molokai: 1896-date Oahu: 1863-date
From 1911-1972, a person born in Hawai'i but whose birth was not registered could apply for a delayed certificate, commonly known as a Delayed (Hawaiian) Birth Certificate. Births prior to 1911 are included, and all of these records can be found at the Department of Health.

That presumes that he was slated from before birth for the resultant path. I find that an extreme stretch unless there is some odd numerological/lineage angle to him that got the elites all hot and bothered.
