My childrens' birth were published in the local newspaper. Has anyone checked to see if perhaps Hawaii was doing that also.
When approached “The Honoulu Advertiser” mentioned what the criteria are for printing birth announcements now, they didn’t contact anyone who worked at the papers back in 1961. The mere registration of a birth would have generated the birth announcement. I have a feeling the story great Aunt Viriginia told of Ann( instead of Jr) being born in WA state is close to the truth using the state closest to where Jr was actually born.
