“Without the “Race of Father” code for 1961 we’re not making any headway.”

I agree. And here is something else. The Nordyke’s and the Obama’s BC are coded for parents’ place of birth. But the Feds didn’t require that field be coded. So why code it at all unless Hawaii was keeping their own statistics. So looking at the Feds codes may be totally meaningless if Hawaii had their own codes.

Now look at the WND BC that otherss posted earlier. It shows a “3” as the race of parents. By the Feds that means they were American Indians. And in parents place of birth they are both listed as “1”. Is that the code for Hawaii? Are they ethnic Hawaiians?

And how have you come to that conclusion?

Well I'd like to see that the Feds didn't require it before I would venture to answer that question that doesn't have a question mark. (not the grammar police, just sayin'...)

It shows a “3” as the race of parents. By the Feds that means they were American Indians.
And what code key are you using to make that determination?

Hmmm...According to the 1961 tape instructions, it lists Mother’s Nativity as one of the categories (Tape location 31):

1. Native
2. Foreign
3. Not Stated

So could these be the codes being referred to? The “3” in that case would mean “Not Stated”. Just throwing that out there.
