Yup, they screwed up, thinking that people would be Stupid Enough to believe because her husband was from Africa they'd use the Term Africa.
Sorry, but in the 1960's there was a little federal law stating on all races would be shown on official doc.

VITAL STATISTICS OF THE UNITED STATES 1961, says on page 231 under the section "Race and color" the following:

 "Births in the United States in 1961 are classified for vital statistics into white, Negro, American Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Aleut, Eskimo, Hawaiian and Part-Hawaiian (combined), and "other nonwhite."
 "The category "white" includes, in addition to persons reported as "white," those reported as Mexican or Puerto Rican. With one exception, a reported mixture of Negro with any other race is included in the Negro group; other mixed parentage is classified according to the race of the nonwhite parent and mixtures of nonwhite races to the race of the father. The exception refers to a mixture of Hawaiian and any other race, which is classified as Part-Hawaiian. In most tables a less detailed classification of "white" and "nonwhite" is used."

When would have Kenya been officially recognized as the Country of Kenya by the United States? Not as a Colony of Great Britain!

The independent Republic of Kenya was formed in 1964.

I forgot to add, the race of the Mother would not had been listed as Caucasian, but White, in 1961.

Much has changed since the 1960s, as racial and ethnic classifications become more realistic on paper. Within the early 1960s, race information on birth certificates was open-ended, meaning that there were no races to choose from. Respondents entered whatever race category he felt the infant fit into. Things changed in the late 60s. In 1977 the Office of Management and Budget established four racial categories for the U.S. Census, changing birth certification categories, also.

WHITE
White, or caucasian is one of the four racial classification options in 1977. Within the 1960s a baby would only be classified as white if he had both parents that were white. The term, caucanoid, was also used, yet infrequently.

BLACK
Black is the racial classification that was used in the 1960s for most races of color. Other terms for black that were also used were negroid or negro.
