No, it is not true.ย
This is an old and thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory.Short summary in English:
The claim that Barack Obamaโs Social Security Number (SSN 042-68-4425) originally belonged to the French immigrantย Jean Paul Ludwigย (born 1890, died in Hawaii), and that Obamaโs grandmother allegedly โstoleโ it through her job at the probate office, isย false.
Jean Paul Ludwigโs actual SSN wasย 045-26-8722ย โ a completely different number.
Ludwig died inย 1981, several years after Obama had already received his own SSN as a teenager.
The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) had been notified of Ludwigโs death, and there is no evidence that the number was misused.
This story has been circulating as a chain email since around 2011 and has been investigated and rejected by independent fact-checkers such asย Snopes, local newspapers, and others. It does not hold up when you check the public death records (Social Security Death Index).Pascal Najadiโs post simply revives the old myth without any new evidence. It is not a genuine โlaw and truthโ matter, but a repetition of a known falsehood.
