In 1975 he turned 14 in August...
Assumming this was a summer job was he only 13 when he was working at Baskin Robbins ???
Was that legal for a kid of 13 even 14 to work in Hawaii at that time ???
For Barry to have a CT SS# he would have had to be living in CT as a legal resident when he got it or at least visiting...
Did Stan Ann live in CT then ???
Or Barrys grandparents ???
Maybe Dad Obama ???
He came back to Hawaii at age 10 to live with Stan Anns parents Stanley and Madelaine Durham...
Maybe they were on a visit to CT at one point..
Maybe its where you happen to be when you apply...
I have a NY SS# because that was where I was living when I did my Alien Registration Card etc paperwork but it could easily have been another state...
Is an SS# reused when someone dies ???
Maybe the guy born in 1890 was already dead when Barry got the number...
If he didnt get it until about 1970, the odds are the other chap was dead...
Id be more suspicious if the number was non-existant or belonging to someone still alive in 1975..
We dont know much about Barrys movements throughout his life...
He may have spent some time in CT etc
The number was issued in 1976-1977 to someone born in 1890. They were still alive when it was issued. Not all that unusual. If you look at the SS death index, a number that was issued just 12 away from the one Obama is using was issued to someone born in 1896, and one approx 800 numbers away was issued to someone born in 1890. SS numbers are never reissued.
