That's a bummer Jill, my mothers NSW death certificate had a lot of black out on it and I sent it back and they replaced it with a much clearer one, surely they could have done that for this poor old chap.

What is making it hard it that the NSW gov sent him the same cert blacked out and it cost him $53 he sent the real one and still they sent back a copy of what he sent them. Now they want another $53 to look again? I said I will try and see if I can find his mothers name for him It only took 25 years to find my mother in laws [smile] but I did find her but I don't think this poor chap has 25 years as he is 90 What is the harm in him knowing she is long dead? dratts Thank you everyone who replied Jill AUS-SAGEN Archives are here: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/AUS-SAGEN/ Websites of Interest on our Blog: http://aus-sagen-genealogy-websites.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUS-SAGEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
