Dear June,

I do know what you're talking about and I have used the "Request "For Copies" form myself. In fact, I have some with me here. The form is 2 pages, including full instructions (1 sheet, back and front), but you only fill out the portions that apply to your request. It is Form No. 31768, last updated Oct 2002, so I infer that there has been no price change yet. Birmingham Public Library, Tutwiler Collection, has blank forms for the public, so NYPL probably does also. BUT...you can d/l the form form the LDS website yourself a lot faster (see below).

Copies cost $2.00 each, with a $4.00 minimum. All this is explained and exemplified i the instructions.

NOTE: You may download the form yourself form the www.familysearch.org website and bypass all the locals. The form itself is a little hard to track down within the multiple levels upon levels of pages and menus, so I have copied and pasted the direct URLs for you below.

http://www.familysearch.org/ENG/Search/RG/frameset_rg.asp?Dest=G1&Aid=&Gid=&Lid=&Sid=&Did=&Juris1=&Event=&Year=&Gloss=&Sub=&Tab=&Entry=&Guide=FReqMicrofilm.ASP

Then click on the PDF link to download the PDF form:
http://www.familysearch.org/ENG/Search/RG/pdfinfo.asp?pdf=images/FReqMicrofilm.pdf


If for some reason the above links do not work:
1-- Go to www.familysearch.org,
2-- Click on the "Library" tab at the top,
3-- Then click n "Services" on the left side,
4-- Then scroll down to the paragraph heading "Ordering Copies by Mail,"
5-- Then click on the link within the sentence that reads, "use the appropriate Request for Photocopies form available on this site."
6-- Then scroll about half-way down the long list and click on "PDF" at the end of the link that reads Requests for Photocopies - Census, Books, Microfilm, or Microfiche (The PDF link at the end of the line goes directly to the form).
7-- Mail your order DIRECTLY to the address at the top of the 1st page:

Photoduplication Unit
Family & Church History Dept.
50 E. North Temple Street
Room 599
Salt Lake City, UT 84150-3400

However, please bear in mine that due to errors and failures-to-find, you might find it cheaper in the long run and more satisfying if you just order the film and do it yourself. Someone wrote that you can get them directly from NY for $12.00 each and that is probably more expensive, but is another option. That would be up to you.

That should do it. Hope this helps and is not too late.

Dear Group,
I went to my local LDS, with all the information (meaning film numbers) to order marriage or death certificates through filling out "Request for Photocopies". The gentleman there did not know anything about "Request for Photocopies" and called someone on the phone & she the person on the phone was not sure what I was talking about either.

Maybe I'm wrong - I thought if I had a film number - certificate # & all the information on that vital record - I could just mail it in from home myself. I went to the family center because years ago when I asked this question at another center, they said to do it through them (I think so they get the credit, showing their center is active).

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to get the certificates? Plus the "Request for Photocopies" form I have is kind of old, is it still $2.00 (for 1 or if you order 8, it's still $2.00)

Thank you, June :-)
