Also they didn’t have the current electronic database back in 1961. For them to have the birth info for Virginia Sunahara that is on her COLB they had to transcribe that info directly from the original paper documents into an electronic file. If they’ve got anything in their system for events that happened before they began electronic filing for BC’s, it came from a paper document.
So they’ve got a paper document for Virginia’s birth, and the information has been entered into their database. Just like anybody else.
They just refuse to let her brother see it.
Why?
That seems reasonable.

I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. Perhaps they didn't think anyone would ever want a birth certificate for a child which died so soon, and either lost it or threw it out.
Anyway, He apparently lost in court, despite what the law says about showing it to a person with a vested interest. This just goes to show that the courts can ignore the law whenever they want to; A fact which makes it all the more plausible that a court will also do so if they want a birth certificate created.
