"You can live in Ohio but have your wedding in Hawaii. You’d still put your wedding announcement in the local paper in Ohio."

Yes, they put the announcement in the local paper where they lived.

So how would the announcement be any kind of proof that he was born in Hawaii?

I remember when I went to college and lived in two cities. One was home and one was where I went to school during the semester.

Momma was a globetrotter. Momma was a rolling stone, wherever she laid her hat was her home. It’s one reason that Barry eventually moved in with Grandma in Hawaii.

What is so difficult to understand or are you intentionally being obstinate? The announcement does not state where he was born. They never lived at the address listed. The newspaper could not verify who placed the announcement. Announcements can be placed by anyone and it's not the newspaper's responsibility to verify the info.

My grandmother placed my birth announcement in half a dozen different states so the relatives would know. By your reasoning that's proof I was born in all of them.
