I ordered a copy of my wife's uncle's death certificate from San Bernardino county and there was an error in the original, the cemetery name was spelled incorrectly. I also got (may have cost extra, I can't remember) a correction that was filed showing the items changed and the original information and the correct information. You need both so that you have correct information. larry k. ************************************************************ At 07:59 PM 10/21/1999 -0700, Edward A.
