— your comment -—”Everything about the Dunham family is suspect.”

Just popping this info in here for the record. The author of this blog was still identifying Dunham as SHIRLEY ANN from genealogy search engines dated 02/2007 and again a comment from another poster is still locating SHIRLEY ANN 10/2008 and no marriage certificate for grandparents and more—

I will stand on the source in the comments section that Ann Dunham was born in Wichita and reared in ElDorado. She’s someone I would have liked to have known.

The following material on the immediate ancestry of Barack Obama should not be considered either exhaustive or authoritative, but rather as a first draft. Stay tuned for more as it unfolds.

P.S. Barack says his mother was “born in a small town in Kansas”. I have to think that must be Augusta. Wichita is small by comparison to a lot of cities, but I think he must be referring to Augusta. I don’t know why he doesn’t come out and say it.

Senator Obama’s mother was born in Wichita, KS but she was raised in Butler County, presumably in Eldorado, KS.

I am curious to hear more about Ann Duran’s battle with ovarian cancer. Did she undergo chemo? What stage cancer did she have? Was her son supportive???

HI, I see some questions about Obama, everything that is posted in the comments is info that was put into computer references in 2008, 1999 or 1998. I’ve been doing research on Mr. Obama’s family for the last 2 months. Researching is my job and hobby. I believe in public records and certainly nothing on the computer. Did you know anyone can change the information on the computer, just register and sign-in. I have seen information change almost daily on Mr. Obama’s family. And it seems there is very little information given from him that can be actually proven by a birth, marriage, death or etc. document from a government source, assuming that he is an American Citizen.

All I wanted to know was why he never talks about his Mother. He never mentioned anything about her until recently, very recently. And from what I found through the computer was all established in 1998 or 1999. Once he became a public officer and it’s info disclosed by HIM. This is what I have: now his Mother’s name is Shirley or Stanley, Ann Dunham (what happened to Obama?)- depends where you get it from within the Obama camp. I could not find anything under the last name Obama with Ann, Shirley or Stanley Ann. Obama’s grandfather did not marry his grandmother, Madeline Lee Payne. Madeline Lee Payne was born in Sedgewick County, Kansas. Mr. Dunham married Clara Katherine Benedict and had a son Earnest Richard Dunham. This the only information from public records on the names given out by Mr. Obama, Jr.

Mr. Obama, Sr., had three wives in Africa when he had Jr. The pictures of Barack with his Mother Shirley Ann, don’t match the pictures of Stanley Ann Durnham. But then the picture of Barack with his grandfather don’t match pictures of Barack with his step-sister in Indonesia. It was stated by the step-sister earlier this month, that when her father left she sent Jr. back to Kansas as she simply could not take care of him by herself. However, he does now look very much like his grandfather. But it’s a big change in his appearance from earlier pictures. Like Michael Jackson change. I saw the picture of him with his grandfather at the beach, I also saw him with his grandfather and grandmother altogether, they look like different people when you put ALL the pictures side by side.

WHAT IS THE BIG SECRET. The “genealogyxxxxxx.com is the site that you can update the info once you register and sign-in. Just like the WhitePages-US Search-Intell. Most of the info is tampered with. Heck I looked up myself and they had all this crazy info. Show me PUBLIC RECORDS’ DOCUMENTS. Who is Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.? This is just a few things I was reesarching, the info kept changing. I started after Hillary lost then picked up in Sept. I also went through his tax return, the one that he’s amending now that he has all this money. Whatever money these politicians collect, becomes THEIR MONEY, not the party’s money. I didn’t know that. He’s now very wealthy. I wish he would say that all the benefits given out would go to AMERICAN CITIZENS ONLY. I’m tired of all the medical benefits being given out to non-American citizens for free. I can’t get insurance because of a pre-existing condition. But people here on visas are getting free medicine and medical care. Now I’m venting. Would be interested if any has seen any actual documents regarding Mr. Obama.
