MacOS Sierra deleted my local Notes on my MBP. How to recover them?

Dear All,

After installing MacOS Sierra, all my Notes stored locally on my MBP are gone. The only Notes in the Notes.app are those stored in iCloud account. Does anyone know how to recover the locally stored Notes in El Capitan?

Thanks

Edmund

Wow, thank God for nerds. 😀

I recovered my text! Thanks dude!

Why was it deleted in the first place though? Ugh.

I followed these instructions but when I try to open the .html notes files in Google Chrome, nothing happens. Thoughts?
