>>Ed, It is not my list.
>>
>>I was, as you were, trying to be helpful with exact dates and locations of
>>the records.
>>
>>Actually the state only charges 3 cents plus postage for uncertified
copies
>>of the records.
>>that they hold.
>>I think It is very confusing for people to have to get the uncertified
>>copies from OHS for $3.00 only to have to submit them to Ohio Vital
>>Statistics to be certified for another $7.00!
>>but only for 1908-1944.
>>
>>Sort of like the phone companies did on de-regulation! Our phone bills
>>jumped from about $6.95 a month to about $40 for the same service!
>>
>>The reason I was trying to be more specific is that it seems to be taking
>>about 2-3 months to received records from OVS and over 3 months from OHS
by
>>mail. If one waits 3 months and is told that they've requested to the
wrong
>>place, then they have to wait another 2-3 months they get really
>frustrated.
>>
>>As I said, I was, as you were, only trying to help.
>>
>>Let's not fight...let's keep trying to help..
>>With the government we all face challenges in our research and every
little
>>tid bit of "clues" help.
>>
>>Thanks for your note, I will not correct anything you post from now
>>on.,.,,again, I was only trying to help and I hope you don't leave because
>>of me. That was not my intention at all.
