Say what? I said a long time ago they needed to investigate the hand written original birth indexes. Why is he wanting the COLBs? Unless it's backdooring it but he'd still need to index to the actual vault copies. Also, why is everyone dealing with the health department? Go to the county clerk's office. It's all on file there and lots easier to get into.
IIUC, since there are only a few counties in Hawaii, one per Island, that the state registrar’s office served as the county office.
