Hello, Someone on the MaMiddle List just asked about getting a birth certificate from Boston City Hospital. I was curious why she didn't want to contact .. Boston City Hall. So, I went to find their web site. I then found this web page mentioning the City Clerk's Office and how to request information on birth certificates, etc.: http://search.cityofboston.gov/query.html?qt=birth+certificate I am also curious if people have requested information from Boston's City Clerk's office, and whether it is a good resource. Cambridge City Clerk charges $5 apiece for certificates, depending on how their search goes. Does the Boston City Clerk charge the same?
