Although still married to Kezia in 1961, Senior may or may not have married fellow student Anna Dunham.  If so, Senior was now legally a bigamist.  Over his lifetime and through several wives, Senior eventually returns to Kezia.
 

The legend is that on February 2, 1961, against Madelyn's hopes, and against the desires of Obama's father back in Kenya, Ann, three months pregnant, and Obama hopped a plane to Maui and got married.  The wedding had no witnesses, not even her parents, and no record of the event has yet been found.

Obama, himself, hints that his father and mother’s wedding may not have been properly documented.  "How and when the marriage occurred remains a bit murky, a bill of particulars that I have never quite had the courage to explore.  There's no record of a real wedding, a cake, a ring, a giving away of the bride. No families were in attendance; it's not even clear that people back in Kansas were informed." Obama writes in his memoir.

The lack of any documentary evidence, when such evidence for legal marriages that took place in Hawaii during 1961 is readily available today to any inquiring family member, strongly suggests that Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Senior were not ever legally married and that Senior, a married man of 25, almost certainly impregnated the 17-year-old Dunham, since nine months before Obama’s birth would be early November 1960, about three to four weeks before Ann Dunham’s 18th birthday on November 29, 1960.

And this, Michelle Obama says that Senior and Anna were never married.  She described Anna as "very young and very single when she had him (Obama)."

And this -- There is no evidence whatsoever that Senior and Anna ever lived together anywhere, any time.  The living arrangements between the announcement of the wedding and the birth of the child were uncertain.  Most likely, Senior remained in his dorm room while Ann lived with her parents.  Letters written by acquaintances of Senior during the period 1960-1961 with accompanying photographs do not mention or show Anna at all.

Congress critter, Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, Obama's "life beard," said that "nobody" was invited to the wedding ceremony.

According to "Dreams...," Senior eventually told Anna about a former marriage in Kenya but said he was divorced, which she would discover years later was a lie -- but "Dreams..." is a notoriously unreliable account of events.

Donofrio's associate, KingsKid, sent an email, "Request for Information," letter on September 25, 2009 11:03 AM to Janice Okubo.  On Thursday, October 01, 2009 12:47 PM, Janice Okubo responded to KingsKid with an email.  Attached to the email were the following Index Data:

BIRTH INDEX -- OFFICE OF HEALTH STATUS MONITORING
CHILD -- OBAMA II, BARACK HUSSEIN
GENDER -- M

MARRIAGE INDEX -- OFFICE OF HEALTH STATUS MONITORING
GROOM -- OBAMA, BARACK HUSSEIN
BRIDE -- DUNHAN, STANLEY ANN

It isn’t clear whether the Index Data provided by Okubo to KingsKid include all of the Index Data available via 338-18(d), --the marriage Index Data for Stanley Ann and Senior wasn't requested -- that was a freebie.

The key phrase in Ms. Okubo's response to KingsKid is "Index Data."  I don't see any description of what the Index Data, housed at the Department of Health, Health Status Monitoring, 1250 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu, HI, are.

There is some confusion caused by cross-referencing terminology from two different Index Data sets-- Groom and Bride are attributes of a marriage and belong in the Marriage Index Data -- there are no parentage attributes in the Birth Index Data set.

Donofrio says this information puts to bed questions that Stanley Ann and Barack, Sr. weren’t married.  He says they were married in Hawaii.

Donofrio asked KingsKid to write back to Okubo and seek additional information.  What I get from this is that there will be more emails, back and forth.  This will go where it will go.

Now, what are the implications of Senior's spousal relationship to Kezia?

And, wait!  Michelle Obama said that Senior and Anna were never married.  She described Anna as "very young and very single when she had him (Obama)."

And the beat goes on . . .

Anna filed for divorce on January 27, 1964 and remarried two years later, when her son was 5.

Obama 1964 Divorce Papers on Scribd.com (13 pages).  There is no wedding license attached.

Investigators were only able to get to a copy of the sanitized divorce record.  It was an incomplete copy, with page 11 missing.  The scrubbed page could have been a copy of Obama's birth certificate.

Interestingly, when researchers ordered the file, "the clerk read the index information directly from the microfiche machine over the phone when the request was placed.  "14 pages total," she said, very clearly, repeating the answer when queried several more times on the page count.  When the docucment was received -- page 11 was missing -- bringing the total page count to 13."

Obama Sr. was never notified of the divorce.  The copy of the divorce papers was "returned to sender."
