next to the purported pictures of Stanley Ann

I missed that word in your original comment, but in any case...

pur·port·ed (p r-pôr t d, -p r -). adj. Appear or claim to be or do something, esp. falsely; profess.

So my question to you is, why do you continue to purport such claims, since NONE of the photos posted in those groups of photos are of Stanley Ann Dunham?

I have always thought the original three pictures were of Stanley Ann Dunham. The pictures simply resemble her too well, and if you enlarge one of them, you can see that the nude woman has what appears to be a crooked tooth in the same location as Stanley Ann was known to have a crooked tooth.

Resemblance coupled with the same tooth being crooked was too much to ask of coincidence, so I was convinced that those photographs were of Stanley Ann Dunham and taken in 1960. (Original search for the album "Cuban Fire" placed the release date in 1960. I later discovered this was a "re-release" with additional song material.)

As for the seven Gilbert photographs, I never looked at them closely, (I tried to get copies of them from Gilbert's company, and they told me to just buy the movie, which I refused to do.) and had been relying on Gilbert claiming they were of the same woman, and based on the claim from Gilbert that he had gotten them from Frank Davis Archives, and if true, that too was too much for coincidence. It was only this week that I read an article in which LorenC claims to have discovered one of the Gilbert photographs in a 1958 magazine, meaning that the Gilbert photographs could not possibly be Stanley Ann. (If what LorenC says is true.)

This leaves the original three. Since LorenC has not claimed to have found any of the original three in a magazine, the possibility exists that these could still be Stanley Ann, though I find this much less likely than I did before reading that article.

As far as being purported, those original three photographs were purported to be Stanley Ann Dunham right from the very beginning when they were first made known to the blogosphere. John Ray, the Australian University Professor who first posted them online, pronounced them to be her right from the start. Snopes tried to debunk them as her, by claiming those were pictures of Marcy Moore, but even they have thrown in the towel on this issue, and pulled all of their claims regarding them.

At this point, I am less inclined to believe the original three photographs are her, but I still am not ready to close that door permanently. There is just too much coincidence going on here.

If someone produces a magazine with one of these pictures in it that comes from before 1960, I will concede that they cannot possibly be Stanly Ann Dunham.
