Maya’s DOB August 15, 1970. It’s unlikely that you would have copied the paper’s archives from that year.
I’m so sorry you had a rough trip - was it because of hostile people or just circumstances in general?
Thanks for letting me know all this. I read as much as I could about the microfilm at the blog. You’ve worked so hard on it, and we appreciate it.
The theory proposed here is that the grandparents posted a birth announcement for his sister even though she was born in another country. That would cast doubt on the process by which birth announcements were generated in that decade, and pretty much destroy the “proof” of his own birth announcement.
I’ve made a list of the ideas about the newspaper angle:
Theory #1 is that the microfilm has been tampered with after the fact - that’s something you examined;
Theory #2 the grandparents put in the announcement even though the grandchild was born overseas;
Theory #3 the hospital did indeed automatically generate the birth announcement, and everything there checks out in Obama Jr’s favor as to the place of birth.
I’m trying to wrap my head around the other big issue of why the Democrat Party modified the OCON for 49 states to remove the language stating Barack Obama was constitutionally eligible. (I think they were worried most about his father’s nationality.) I would like to have people work on their own state governments about this, to see if the language is in fact required according to state regulations, and if what Nancy Pelosi signed off on was illegal. It was definitely deliberate.
You probably saw this, but this law professor’s blog post was refreshing today.

Yes, I read that, and I zipped it. LOL
I did do a few dates for the 70’s - I think. Crap, I put that stuff away months ago and haven’t thought much about it. About half of what I went after on that particular trip was for Butterdzillion, and a bit of stuff I personally was still curious about. Listen, I’ll put the link to that post here - I talk about the trip and the weird stuff that happened. Just know that NONE of my posts are full disclosure.
If I collect things at the request of another person, I do not disclose the details of that, even though I am NOT compensated for my time or expenses. I spent over $1000. to do that last trip into the LOC. I had to travel, stay overnight. ect. DC ain’t cheap baby!
I choose not to disclose certain details or material primarily because I “volunteered” to go. It’s hard to explain, but I don’t look for attention - I just want to provide material for people to use to help with their own research. And it’s just damn fascinating!
Anyway, here is the link to the post about the weird trip to the Library of Congress, it’s the “update” about halfway down the post:

I checked through the copies from my last trip and I did not have any for the year 1970. I think that if I had even just done a visual check and didn’t find her, I would recall having done that.
Actually, I have a link somewhere that was current a few months back, it was the Honolulu paper giving info on how to submit a birth announcement to be published. So, if they do it now, it’s likely they did it then also. Seriously, newspapers back then did print these at the request of grandparents or parents. They were also printed from lists provided by the vital stats office. No one back then got all fricken uptight about printing something like a little birth announcement. And HI was more laid back that many places.
1)Lets say that he was absolutely born in HI, S. Ann signs the form giving permission for the vital stats office to send the info over to the paper to be printed up.
2)Lets say that he was born in WA (or Canada or wherever)and a proud Grandparent requests the birth be announced. Provides their own address (since it have been proven obama Sr. NEVER lived at that address)
So the birth announcement info has one of two ways to be provided to the newspaper. Vital stats office, or grandparents. Either one is 100% plausible.
Although I do not make claims that the micro films were absolutely tampered with, there are definitely indications that they likely were. It would not have been terribly difficult. I wonder if the films were supposed to have come from a master reel. There are suggestions that they didn’t, yet there are “mistakes” in the filming of the reels at the LOC that also occur in the HI films.
Anyway, there are only about nine or ten (actually less I think) libraries that have both sets (newspapers) for these dates. That includes the libraries in HI. There are a couple of places that have one film only of one newspaper for that date.
As I mentioned in my article, it would be super easy to swap these films out.
