In regards to the bill in discussion below: SMART "CON" enterprises are using the names and info from old birth certificates/headstones etc. to gain entry into this country and to establish illegal residency. Until we (our country) can get a strangle hold on illegal entry we must do our part to assist people on the front lines. I personally am not smart enough to figure out an alternative route for documentation of our blessed ancestors, but I know it is out there!!!
