The news report states that the State of Hawaii discarded the paper. I can only take the news that we have at face value until someone else comes up with someone who has another news report that says something like, “No, the State of Hawaii has stated that they put them into storage.” That hasn’t been said, What has been said is that they were discarded.
Now, you can believe it or not, but I’m just repeating what they said because the report also indicates that the staff called the State of Hawaii to find that out.
However, I’m sure that someone could get on the phone and call up the Vital Records division and find out and report back to us... :-)
I think I will do just that on Monday. Good idea.
