Supposedly there were a couple of birth announcements in the paper shortly after his birth.
Are these real? I heard this from a right leaning local talk show host.
Could they have placed these announcements recently?
Anyone could have placed them, including family, which could submit the info it wanted published. That includes a cover story to make a mulatto birth to an unwed teenager seem respectable.
All the newspaper birth announcements prove is that he was born.
It is possible that the Obama operatives did a ‘cut and paste’ job on the few known microfiches inserting the Obama birth announcements, but the more likely scenario is that Grandma ‘Tut’ Madelyn Dunham had them placed in the Hawaiian papers by whatever means.
There’s news regarding the birth announcements but I can’t disclose it yet because it could jeopardize further research.
The same thing is true of the probable amendment Obama made.
And regarding this request by Mr Charlton, we know these documents do, in fact, exist because the DOH’s retention schedules say those have to be maintained permanently. When I asked for the records by their specific name (as given in the retention schedules)they said they didn’t know what I was talking about. So I sent the clarification below. I’m thinking of posting the retention schedules (or maybe just the relevant pages of them) on my blog.
Bgill, maybe you could look at the retention schedule once I’ve got it posted and see if there’s a record that would be better to ask for.

Aloha!
VR-1 Birth index (p 21 on retention schedule)
VDR-1 Delayed BC Index (p. 22 on retention schedule)
VDR-6 COHB Index (p 23 on retention schedule)
VDR-10 Index to certificates of foreign birth (p 19 on retention schedule)
I’ve enclosed the retention schedules so you can see what I’m talking about. There should be either original copies or microfilms. Since these are from 1961 they would not be computerized. I’m asking for electronic copies of the original or microfilmed records, including everything that was authorized for public release before UIPA was passed in 1988 (name, birth date, and certificate number - which were public since at least 1977; see p. 11 of OIP Opinion Letter 90-23 ) since UIPA was not intended to close any previously-authorized disclosures (see Opinion Letter 90-04 (page 6 ) . Any other information may be redacted if its disclosure was not authorized before 1988 and an exemption to disclosure applies)
I just noticed that VDR-10 begins in 1981 so there would not be any records for 1961. My apologies for that mistake.
