A few hours ago, a friend of mine sent me recent videos (linked below) by Candace Owens where she claims to have found documents allegedly proving that details regarding Kamala Harris' recent ancestry, as reported in her 2019 book 'The Truths We Hold' are inaccurate.

I've only skimmed the videos myself, but among other things, she claims to have found evidence (in the form of birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, travel records, etc.) that

  • Kamala's reported grandmother Berril Finegan died in 1960, 4 years before Kamala was born, despite the inclusion of photographs of Kamala (as a young adult) with Berril in her book.

  • The woman pictured as Kamala's grandmother Berril is the same as the woman pictured as her great-grandmother Iris in the book.

  • Berril was a domestic servant/enslaved person at the Harris household.

  • Berril's reported husband, Oscar Harris actually married another (caucasian) woman named Vioris "Iris" Cambridge. Kamala's father Donald J Harris claims to have been very close to a woman named Iris, who is reported to have been his grandmother.

  • Berril Finegan herself married a man called Lawford Newland

  • Berril Finegan had a son with a man called Albert Harris called Donald (Kamala's reported father's firstname) who died before the age of 2.

Owens also believes it's suspicious that she is unable to find documents confirming that

  • Berril Finegan ever got divorced from Lawford Newland.

  • Berril Finegan ever married Kamala's reported grandfather Oscar Harris.

  • Kamala's reported father Donald J Harris was born when and to whom he claims to have been.

This question asks if there are any inaccuracies in Kamala's recent genealogy as reported in The Truths We Hold and other official reports. If so, did Kamala intentionally misrepresent her ancestry, or was she simply misled by her relatives?

If this is anything like the 2008 birther conspiracy, I expect this topic to stay in the zeitgeist for a while, so I've set the date of closing to 10 years from now. I will resolve to YES earlier if convincing evidence comes out to suggest so AND it is reported as factual by reputable sources. If not, this market will resolve to NO.
