Thanks!  I just never could find anything about where she was born, other than "in Kansas!"  I wonder if anyone in Peru knew anything about her family?

Bonnie the article also said that the Grandmother went on to be a distinguished banker in Hawaii.

Bonnie, this is an excerpt from the article. I found the article online, put in your search engine: "Family Precedent Obama's Grandmother Blazed Trails"          Frank

Dunham was born Madelyn Payne in Peru, Kan., on Oct. 26, 1922. When she was 3 years old, Payne's family moved to Augusta, Kan., where young Madelyn was raised, Soetoro-Ng said. She married Stanley Armour Dunham in 1940. Madelyn Dunham attended college at the University of Washington before becoming an aircraft inspector for Boeing during World War II.

After the war, she attended UC-Berkeley, worked various jobs, then came to the Islands, where she joined the Bank of Hawaii in 1960.

Thanks.  I kept thinking that it was his "Mother" who was born in Peru.  "I'm beginning to see, said the blind man!"
