Yeah my source is the Health Bureau Statistics - thanks for pointing that out:
http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/vital-records/index.html
“Amended certificates of birth may be prepared and filed with the Department of Health, as provided by law, for 1) a person born in Hawaii who already has a birth certificate filed with the Department of Health or 2) a person born in a foreign country.”
So you can see per Hawaii’s own health department allowing amended certificates and certificates issued for persons BORN OUT OF THE COUNTRY (let alone Hawaii) requiring a ‘birth certificate’ prior to an annoucement being placed in the paper is worth dog doo proving a birth actually occurred IN Hawaii.
As I said, you come up with an announcement like the Indianapolis Star which comes DIRECTLY FROM LOCAL HOSPITALS then you have something - until then - nada.
