The certified copies of long-forms from Hawaii in 1961 don’t include legitimacy. Here are the items that would be on a long-form that weren’t already on the COLB Obama claims to have released:
1. This birth single, twin, triplet?
2. If twin or triplet, first, second, or third born?
3. Name of hospital?
4. Place of birth inside city or town limit?
5. Usual residence of mother?
6. Mothers usual residence inside city or town limit?
7. Mothers usual residence a farm or plantation?
8. Age of father?
9. Fathers birthplace?
10. Fathers usual occupation?
11. Kind of business?
12. Mothers age?
13. Mothers birthplace?
14. Mothers occupation during pregnancy?
15. Date mother last worked?
16-21. Informant, attendant, and local registrars signatures and dates of signature
22. Date accepted by local registrar
22. date accepted by registrar general (this is claimed to be on the COLB already)
23. Evidence for delayed filing or alteration
Not sure if this has been mentioned on this thread, as I have not had time to read all the posts, but I think one of the biggie problems of releasing even a good “Long Form” forgery would be the fact that in order do legitimize the COLB, the race of father would have to say “African”. Everyone at that time would know that both documents were a fraud, as that term was never used to describe race on a BC (at least not in the 60’s). Must be many heads spinning about now. :-)
