Subject: Request for Minnesota Death Cert - Update
Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2001 21:10:04 -0600


Dear List:

This is working out quite well but I'm making a slight change to shorten the
process. We only go to the MHS about once a month due to the travel time.
I've decided to ask for the payment and SASE in advance. I will cash the
checks one week prior to getting the certs. This will get the certs to
people much more quickly since I will be able to mail them as soon as we get
them. When I started this, I was worried that the database wasn't always
accurate but it seems to be very reliable.

Thank you.
Carol

Subject:Request for Minnesota Death Cert

Dear List:
My kids noticed a lot of death cert requests on another list (we share an
email address). So........they started pulling death certs a few weeks ago
for the Hennepin County List I'm on. My kids pull them at the Minnesota
Historical Society (http://people.mnhs.org/dci/Search.cfm) and I am taking
care of the email interface, all copy costs, sending them out, etc. [I don't
want them to get sent to the wrong people or wrong address.] By the way,
the Historical Society will pull them for you but charges $8 each (they have
to pay the employees).
We are willing to do this for people on this list but cannot guarantee when
we will go next. It is a 35-45 min drive from our home and MHS parking
charges are by the hour, so we are asking for $2.50/death cert. We will ask
people to send payment and a SASE before we will mail the copied certs out.
If anyone on this list is interested, please send the name, county, date of
death, and death cert ID # for each death cert from the MHS database. Please
put the words "Request for Minnesota Death Cert" in the subject line of your
email. Let me know if you are in Canada or another foreign country. Please
send the requests to us off-list so we don't clutter up the list. I will
respond to each email so people are not left wondering, so please do not
request it from me and someone else at the same time. While I see how this
works, please keep each email to no more than 7 names at a time.
Thank you.
Carol & kids
