There have been no records found of a marriage and it has been said that Ann filed for divorce in 1964 using the grounds of “mental suffering” the only grounds used at that time. According to the story Sr signed the papers for the divorce while he was still at Harvard in 1964, shortly before he returned to Kenya. Perhaps Ann filed for divorce simply to resolve matters such as custody.The only divorce records others have found for Ann are for her divorce from Lolo which she filed in 1980. That divorce was never finalized until 1988 one year after Lolo died. “Official stories” have Sr returning to Kenya in 1965 but he actually returned to Kenya in 1964. One article I read also mentioned that because Sr was vocal about the government of Kenya he was stripped of his passport in late 1969. That brings up yet another question, namely what passport did Sr use to travel to Hawaii in 1971? By then he was divorced from his 3rd wife, Ruth, the other American he had married.
Thanks, CE - for all the info. I just did a little googling about the FStamps but didn’t get as much as you did. I’m not a very good researcher.
I’m wondering if either of Obama Sr’s US marriages were even legal since I’ve read he had other wives in Kenya. And have you seen any record of a marriage license for Obama Sr and Anne? That would help the timeline for sure.
