Thank you for your response. I agree with your methods and conclusions to the best of my understanding.
I have questioned the anomalous “X” as completely as I know how to question. As an honest summary, I would have to say this is the only way the “X” could be intentional as it appears before us now:
If a person first hand stamped a piece of paper with the certifying statement, then scanned that into a graphic arts program, then enlarged the portion of text we are speaking of to something like 600% in order to erase some pixels and add in other pixels so as to change the “H” in the word “the” to an “X”.
They would have had to work carefully, because it would need to be a clear “X” for legal purposes, should the validity of the document be brought into question, but at the same time it would need to appear somewhat random, on the off-chance the document passed muster.
Once the letter was manipulated, it could be assembled with the other assembled info. and compiled into a complete document.
I believe this is an assembled document. I believe the “X” is telling us that. It is saying these records are TXE records, ie. data files. I am also speculating that the hand written faint numbers that appear on the green layer once the majority of the text is removed, are reference numbers that tell where the additional records are in the data base. I am also guessing that the anomalous “1” that appears differently at the end of the birth certificate number is indeed the last number in the original birth cert. number on the original file. Whatever else can be seen on the green layer is also original information and holds clues to the original record, I think.
Anyway, I’m not any kind of professional with any advanced knowledge about anything, so all my thinking is deductive reasoning based on what my eyes can see and what little computer knowledge I have.
Please, feel free, if you think I am on to something, to share my ideas with as many people as you think helpful, if you think it could result in proving this document to be what we all sense it to be, a fake.
Anyway, if you search my user name you can see other posts I’ve made on the subject, if you’re interested. I probably won’t pursue it much more because I have reached the end of my skill set and cannot contribute further. Thanks for taking time to respond to my question. :) Hope you have a good day! :)
Is it just me or has anyone figured out that the new head of DOH at Hawaii admits, directly in the letter posted at the White that this is a unique ‘computer-generated certified copy’?
See Ms. Fuddy’s (yes that is the real name) letter at the bottom of this link.

“I have the legal authority to approve the process by which copies of such records are made. Through that authority, in recognition of your status as President of the United States, I am making an exception to current departmental policy which is to issue a computer-generated certified copy.”
So yes...its computer generated and not a ‘scan’ of real document. Ms. Fuddy tells us that - very directly.
Anything found or not found can be explained since they openly claim a) they have the authority to change the process and b) they did and created a computer-generated POS image and declared it to be a ‘certified copy’.
It seems Ms. Fuddy was brought in to do what Palafox may have refused to do.....
