Geneology index

Dear Dr. Taitz,
I am writing to offer another investigative angle, Genealogy Lists.
It occurred to me, even if we are not allowed to see Obama’s original Hawaiian Vault Record of Birth, (as if one exists…) then perhaps we can at least access a state archive supported genealogy list, and see if his original birth record certificate number is on the list…
For example – - I was born somewhere in the Deep South in 1949. My original long form vault record of live birth certificate number is 1949-343. My original certificate appears to have been partially typed on a small form using an old manual typewriter, and partial executed by hand, on what looks to be a 4” X 6” form card. Those “index cards” were all sequentially numbered (again, mine is number 1949-343) The original cards are all kept in metal trays, in a vault. When I order up a “Certified Copy of my Vault Record of Live Birth”, the records clerk pulls out the original document, (which has stamps, seals, my mom’s signature, the delivering doctor’s signature, etc.) places the document on a photocopy (“Xerox”) machine, feeds 8.5” X 11” security paper (“Check Protect Green, 25 Lb. Bond”) into the machine, and a copy is made, which is later stamped, signed, and a raised impression seal embossed into the paper. That is how a real “Birth Certificate” is produced from an “Original Vault Record of Live Birth”. That number, 1949-343, my name, my DOB, and my POB, and my parents names all appear on a simple little archive list.
Think about it, way back when, before computers were in wide spread use (say, pre-1980, give or take) how do you think the Records Clerk processed any request for a certified copy of a birth certificate? He took the applicant’s name, and his DOB, and went to that year’s list, which among other things, would list the vault number and tray number where the original little 4” X 6” card was kept. So, the index lists were important.
Flash forward to Hawaii in1961. They were still recording births in the same manner in 1961.
Now, here is where genealogy research comes in. I tried various Google searches, sort of like this – - “Hawaii” + “Genealogists” + “Birth Certificate Index”. Not much luck. I tried numerous other search combinations, and I finally ended up, after hours on the computer, hitting the jackpot with “Investigators” + “missing heirs“.
I found an investigator with offices in Ohio and in Florida called “Legal Investigative Services”. Their special genealogy/investigative niche involves lost and missing heirs, etc. These guys really know how it works and how to search. I talked to a guy named Hatcher in the Florida office. He told me that Hawaiian searches were now ‘restricted’, and he didn’t want to talk about it. (…phone goes “click”…) I then called a guy named Rucker in their Ohio office. The bottom line: He says that approximately 6 months ago (do the math) that Hawaii locked down their Index List, which had previously been openly accessible to Registered Genealogists.
The point of course is this: If we could access the Hawaiian Original Vault Record of Live Birth “Index List”, starting with number 1961-001, and going to the end of 1961, perhaps we would see that the name “Obama” is not on the list…
Golly gee, what are the chances?
Here is an example of one type of index that a Genealogist would keep; a State Index would be only slightly different:
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_8plkY5ChqvM/ScwpME0uRfI/AAAAAAAAQqo/uNmuXGq3tqE/032509+086.jpg So, it occurred to me…
Any serious Hawaiian Genealogist would certainly have a good relationship with the local records clerk, right?
All of the old indexes were in paper form. So, it is not beyond the pale to imagine that sometime in the past, perhaps as recently as 2 or 3 years ago, a Registered Hawaiian Genealogist may have made a copy of the 1961 index, as it existed then, (before any tampering may have occurred) and the genealogist may have kept that copy. (Wouldn’t that be interesting?)
So, this is just my opinion, but perhaps you should expand your search and talk to Hawaiian genealogists.
I look forward to your response.
Thanks and regards,

This absolutely begs the question: Why would someone go to every conceivable place where records are kept and delete, change, alter, lock down-intimidate pay-off etc.? The enigma machine is reborn as the mysterious birth certificate. I’m beginning to wonder if one exits at all. Possibly he was born in the African bush? some babies are born that quickly. Here in Florida a baby was born and named by the newspaper I-95. He/she was born on one of the ramps, hence the name-until the parents go over the initial shock. People in traffic were wondering why this woman was madly ripping her clothes off. It must have looked very peculiar.

I have written this before. Under Hawaii law someone with shared ancestory can request a copy of BO’s birth certificate. Linda Jordan, Seattle WA

Aren’t the Mormons the Genealogy experts? Anyone in Salt Lake City that can work this angle? I remember hearing they have a major genealogy data base there available to everyone.
June 23rd, 2009 @ 12:45 am
Yes the Mormon Church does have an enormous genealogy library in SLC.

Is some relative of Obama’s a plaintiff in one of Orly’s suits? I thought I read that somewhere. I know I read somewhere that a relative of Obama’s was somehow involved in questioning his eligibility.
Iron Worker, did this guy say that NO ONE can search these records any more? Or is it just that registered genealogy researchers can’t?
June 23rd, 2009 @ 12:57 pm
There are laws protecting privacy…so if the records (genealogical) are recent, they will just say “living”. Only a family member can access the most recent stuff (with military, you need to show relation…or even “next of kin” status). That’s why you can only view 1930 as the most recent census records. Remember the “Joe the Plumber” searches…weren’t they found to be illegal, or something? An index would be legal…but it would not contain all the info, of course. Clubs, sport events participation, …newspapers would be a wonderful resourse…anyway, it’s tricky to find recent info.

any archieve sites – data may be waiting to be found – quickly….
