Hmmm - re: his genealogy. I have family lines from St. Marys Co, MD to Nelson Co, KY too. Some of those names look familiar. I wonder if I am related? :)
Maybe if I can prove it then I could request a copy of his COLB from Hawaii! (ha! I’m sure that would fly)
If you are a relative I’m sure the state of Hawaii would grant that request for genealogy purposes only.
One can always ask...
