The same address was used in both birth announcements but it was NOT the home of the Dunhams(they lived on Kamehameha Ave. from the time they arrived in Hawaii until they moved to University Ave.so they coould be closer to Noelani Elementary School) and Obama Sr lived at 625 11th Ave after moving out of the bordering house where he originally lived when he first arrived in Hawaii in June of 1959. The home listed in both birth announcements was the property of Professor Orland Lefforge(Head of the Speech Dept as in debating) and his wife, Thelma and their three children, Andrea, Mia and Scott. Andrea was the oldest being 6 at the time. I wrote the University of Hawaii back in September asking when Professor Leforrge returned to teach there after receiving his PHd from UW at Madison but have never received a reply. He taught there as late as 1949 with a Master’s degree in the speech department, but by 1968 he was in Washington D.C. as an aide to Sen Inoyue.

WND can find no listing in the Polk directories to document Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. ever living at the same address.

As WND previously reported, according to an affidavit from private investigator Jorge Baro, the neighbor who has lived at 6075 Kalanianaole Highway since before Obama was born had no recollection of the family next door having a black child born to a white mother.

Very likely, the neighbor, Beatrice Arakaki, did not recall the Obama family because the primary residents were the grandparents, the Dunhams.

At most, Ann Dunham Obama and her son lived at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway only a few days, and there is no evidence Barack Obama Sr. ever lived there, despite the address having been listed in the Honolulu newspapers as the residence of the parents.

After Dunham left for Seattle, Barack Obama Sr. likely would have lived at his 11th Avenue address.

Polk listing for Stanley and Madelyn Dunham

A search of the Polk's Directory of Honolulu for 1961-1962 indicates 6085 Kalanianaole Highway was being rented by the grandparents. Madelyn L. Dunham is listed as a loan interviewer and escrow agent at the Bank of Hawaii, and Stanley A. Dunham is listed as a manager with Pratt Furniture.

Polk listing for Ann Obama

In a separate listing, Ann S. Obama, Obama's mother, is identified as a student living at the 6085 Kalanianaole Highway address; Barack H. Obama, her husband, is listed as a student living at 625 11th Avenue.

As WND previously reported, a Honolulu title search documented 6085 Kalanianaole Highway was purchased in 1958 by Orland Scott Lefforge, a University of Hawaii professor, and his wife/companion Thelma Young, who remained owners into the 1970s.

Honolulu title records

The Polk Directory shows Lefforge and Young living at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway in 1963, not when they purchased the home in 1958.
