Although New York State will allow "genealogy" as a reason for the request, NYC will not, particularly for recent record. I usually use something like 'to prove parentage for legal matter' I've never had to include documentation of my relationship. And they do send a photocopy of the certificate, complete with raised seal. cb -- To reply replace at with @ and remove x from xtiac.net.

Try it for yourself what do you have to loose! It's only a $5 investment!! Read this and decide for yourself!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hate these posts as much as you do. Please just give me a few minutes of your time. It will be worth it, I assure you. For only $5 how can you go wrong? THIS REALLY DOES WORK!!!! It only cost me the postage and $5. READ ON! Hello! I've got some awesome news that I think you need to take two minutes to read if you have ever thought "How could I make some serious cash in a hurry???", or been in serious debt, ready to do almost anything to get the money needed to pay off those bill collectors. So grab a snack, a warm cup of coffee, or a glass of your favorite beverage, get comfortable, and listen to this interesting, exciting find! Let me start by saying that I FINALLY FOUND IT! That's right! I found it! And I HATE GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES!! I hate those schemes like multi-level marketing, mail-order schemes, envelope stuffing scams, 900 number scams--the list goes on forever. I have tried every darn get rich quick scheme out there over the past 12 years. I somehow got on mailing lists for people looking to make money (more like "desperate stupid people who will try anything for money!"). Well, when I was a teenager, these claims to "get me rich quick sounded irresistible! I would shell out $14.95 here, $29.95 there, $24.95 here, and another $49.95 there. I had maxed out my new Circuit City Card AND my Visa...I was desperate for money!! So, I gave them all a chance but failed at every one of them! Maybe they worked for some people, but not for me. Eventually, I just tossed that JUNK MAIL in the trash when I got the mail. I recognized it right away. I can smell a money scam from a mile away these days. I thought I could sniff out a scam easily. WAS I WRONG!! I LOVE THE INTERNET!!! I was scanning thru a newsgroup and saw an article titled GET CASH FAST!! I thought, "Here on the Internet? Well, I'll just have to see what schemes could possibly be on the internet." The article described a way to MAIL A ONE DOLLAR BILL TO ONLY FIVE PEOPLE AND MAKE $50,000 IN CASH WITHIN 4 WEEKS! Well, the more I thought about it, the more I became very curious. Why? Because of the way it worked AND BECAUSE IT WOULD ONLY COST ME FIVE DOLLARS (AND FIVE STAMPS). THAT'S ALL I EVER PAY--EVER!!! Okay, so maybe the $50,000 in cash was a tough amount to reach--but it was possible. I knew that I could at least get a return of $1,000 or so. So I did it!! As per the instructions in the article, I mailed out ("snail mail" for you email fanatics) a single dollar bill to each of the five people on the list that was contained in the article. I included a small note with the dollar that stated "Please Add Me To Your List." I then removed the first position name of the five names listed and moved everyone up one position, putting my name in position five of the list. This is how the money starts rolling in! I then took this revised article--now with my name on the list--and REPOSTED IT ON AS MANY NEWSGROUPS AND LOCAL BULLETIN BOARD MESSAGE AREAS THAT I KNEW. I then waited to watch the money come in, prepared to maybe receive about $1,000 to $1,500 in cash or so. But what a welcome surprise when those envelopes kept coming in!!! I knew what they were as soon as I saw the return addresses from people all over the world--most from the U.S., some from Canada, and even some from Australia! I tell you, THAT WAS EXCITING!! So, how much did I get in total return? $1000? $5000? Not even!!! I received a total of $23,343!!! I couldn't believe it!! I now have a brand new black Acura Integra to speak for due to this!! Now after almost eight months, I am ready to do it again!!! Maybe it is possible to get $50,000 in cash--I don't know--but IT COMPLETELY DEPENDS ON YOU, THE INDIVIDUAL! You must follow through and repost this article everywhere you can think of! The number of postings you make will determine how much cash will arrive in your mailbox!! It's just too easy to pass up!!! Let's review the reasons why you should do this. The only cost factors are the five stamps, the five envelopes and the five one dollar bills that you send out to the listed names by snail mail (U.S. Postal Service mail). Then just simply repost the article (WITH YOUR NAME ADDED) to all the newsgroups and local BBS's you can. Then sit back and enjoy walking (you can run if you like!) down your driveway to your mailbox and scoop up your rewards!! We all have five dollars to put into such an easy, effortless investment with SPECTACULAR, REALISTIC RETURNS OF $15,000 to $25,000 in about 3-5 weeks! So HOLD OFF ON THOSE LOTTERY NUMBERS FOR TODAY, EAT AT HOME TONIGHT INSTEAD OF GETTING TAKEOUT FROM McDONALD'S, AND INVEST FIVE DOLLARS IN THIS AMAZING MONEY MAKING SYSTEM NOW!!! YOU CAN'T LOSE!! So how do you do it exactly, you ask? I have carefully provided the most detailed, yet straightforward, instructions on how to easily get this underway and get your cash on its way. SO, ARE YOU READY TO MAKE SOME CASH!!!?? HERE WE GO!!! INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Take a sheet of paper and write on it the following: "Please add my name to your list." Make sure you also include your name and address. This creates a service out of this money-making system and thus makes it completely legal. You are not just randomly sending a dollar to someone--you are paying one dollar for a legitimate service. I assure you again that this is completely legal! 2. Now fold this sheet of paper around a dollar bill (no checks or money orders). Put them into an envelope and send it on its way to the five people listed. The folding of the paper around the bill will insure its arrival to its recipient. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT!! 3. Now, listen carefully. Here's where you get YOUR MONEY COMING TO YOUR MAILBOX. Look at the list of five people. Remove the first name from position 1 and move everyone on the list up one slot. Position 2 name will now move to the position 1 slot , position 3 will now become position 2, position 4 will become 3, position 5 will become 4. Now, put your name, address, zipcode AND COUNTRY in position 5. 4. Now, upload this updated file to as many newsgroups and local bulletin boards' message areas and file sections as possible. Give a catchy description of the file so it gets noticed!! Example: "NEED FAST CASH?, HERE IT IS!" or "NEED CASH TO PAY OFF YOUR DEBTS??", etc. The more uploads the more money you will make, and of course, the more money the others on the list will make too. LET'S ALL TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER BY BEING HONEST AND BY PUTTING FORTH 120 PERCENT INTO THIS PROFITABLE AND AMAZING SYSTEM!!! You'll reap the benefits, believe me!!! Set a goal for the number of total uploads you'll post, such as 15-20 postings or more! Always have a goal in mind!!! If you can UUE encode the file when uploading, that will make it easier for the people to receive it and have it downloaded to their hard drive. That way they get a copy of the article right on their computer without hassles of viewing and then saving the article from the File menu. Don't alter the file type. Leave it as an MS-DOS text file. The best test is to be able to view this file using Microsoft's Notepad or WordPad. If the margins look right without making the screen slide left or right when at the ends of the sentences, you're in business! 5. If you need help uploading, simply ask the sysop of the BBS, or "POST" a message on a newsgroup asking how to post a file. Tell them who your internet provider is and PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE GLAD TO HELP. I would try to describe how to do it but there are simply too many internet software packages with slightly different yet relatively simple ways to post or upload a file. Just ask for help or look in the help section for "posting." Place a one-line statement in the main body section of the message post screen. Something like "Download this to read how to get cash arriving in your mailbox with no paybacks!" or whatever. Just make sure it represents its true feasibility, NOT something like: "Get one million dollars flooding into your mailbox in two days!" You'll never get ANY responses! 6. And this is the step I like. JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY LIFE BECAUSE CASH IS ON THE WAY!! Expect to see a little money start to trickle in around 2 weeks, but AT ABOUT WEEKS 3 AND 4, THE MONEY STORM WILL HIT YOUR MAILBOX!! All you have to do is take it out of the mailbox and try not to scream too loud (outside anyway) when you realize YOU HIT THE BIG TIME AT LAST!! 7. So, go PAY OFF YOUR BILLS AND DEBTS and then get that something special you always wanted or buy that special person in your life (or the one you want in your life) a gift they'll never forget. ENJOY LIFE! 8. Now when you get low on this money supply, simply re-activate this file again, reposting it in the old places where you originally posted and possibly some new places you now know of. Don't ever lose this file. Always keep a copy within reach for when you ever need cash. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TOOL THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS RE-USE TIME AND TIME AGAIN WHEN CASH IS NEEDED! *************************************************************************** THE NAMES LIST THE NAMES LIST THE NAME LIST *************************************************************************** HONESTY IS WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL!!! 1. Behrang Parvin 27961 N. Ridgecove Ct. Rancho Palos Verdes ,CA 90275 USA 2. Mike Berntsen RD 2 Box 108 Frankford, DE 19945 USA 3. Colin Griffiths 40 Hazelwood Cres. St. John's, NF A1E6B3 CanadaA 4. Justin Cramer 2218 West Lawn Ave. Racine, Wi 53403 USA 5. Jan Duffie 519 Bilyeu St. Raleigh, NC 27606 USA ********************************************************************** NOTE: Keep a list of everyone that sends you a dollar (remember, they asked you to add them to your list) and always keep an eye on the local postings of this file, just to make sure that everyone is playing the game fairly. You know where your name should be. AGAIN, HONESTY IS THE BEST THING WE HAVE GOING FOR US ON THIS PLAN. By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with your name in the list and not sending the money to the people already included, you will not get much. I know someone who did this and only got about $150 (and that's after two months). Then he sent the 5 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10,000! ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #5 Date: Thu, 11 Sep 1997 10:37:59 GMT From: The Shadow <> To: Message-ID: <9b7cd$> Subject: www.ieway.com/business/gifts Check out this web site www.ieway.com/business/gifts I bought one of these Special Events Calendars & they are great for keeping track of those birthdays, anniversaries and other special dates & events happening in your life. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #6 Date: 11 Sep 1997 17:41:12 GMT From: "Sandi Scott" <> To: Message-ID: <01bcbed9$d6ad6600$> Subject: Home children; war babies; young immigrant For those searching for information on: Home Children War Babies Young Immigrants Adoption search and support groups include all of the above.

The widow after a king will normally keep her title as Queen. If the woman is the ruler, she is called the Queen, and her husband can't be the King, but is called prince or prince-consort. Female rulers are not very common, since most countries don't have female succession. You'll find very few female rulers in the german princely and royal-families, only, as far as I remember, in Denmark, Sweden, The Netherlands, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Russia and Spain you'll find them.
