2004 - When tropical cyclone Heta devastated the government offices on the island nation of Niue in January, the vital records were destroyed. In a ceremony held at the Auckland City Library in Auckland, New Zealand, the Church presented 28 rolls of microfilmed birth, death and marriage records to the people and government of Niue. The records also included the genealogies of Niuean property owners that are an important part of Niuean property ownership laws. The Church began microfilming Niuean records in 1994.
