. If a child born in Hawaii, for whom no physician or mid wife filed a certificate of live birth, and for whom no Delayed Certificate was filed before the first birthday, then a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth could be issued upon testimony of an adult including the subject person) if the Lieutenant Governor was satisfied that a person was born in Hawaii, provided that the person had attained the age of one year. (See Section 57-40 of the Territorial Public Health Statistics Act in the 1955 Revised Laws of Hawaii which was in effect in 1961)." Sounds like you believe in a pretty damned efficient government!!! I don't. See, I think "testimony" is more than just some old lady's phone call to a hospital. And i think that the lieutenant governor of any state is going to want a little bit more than some old lady's word that a kid was born in hawaii. In 1961, the Honolulu Advertiser did birth announcements in the Sunday Paper. They did a week's worth of birth announcements in the Sunday paper. For the August 13th edition, the last birth to be announced was from August 6th....one week prior. Unless Grandma Dunham had filed the birth certificate testimony before August 6th, the announcement would have come in the August 20th edition. And that's assuming it was a routine birth in a hospital that didn't require affidavits to be verified.
