I wouldn't have been so upset if they would have let me know that when they don't find the information in that year, that they still keep your money. Cost me $50 for my great great grandmothers death certificate. I too am not happy that they black out the cause of death. What would it matter at this late date what the individual died from? Some of which a few of us may have been told anyway. I do like that they list the parents names of the deceased, along with the mother's maiden name. That has been the most helpful part of my research. What irks me is the amount, especially when they are given the exact date and year. I can order information from North Dakota and only pay $8 including exchange for a number of sheets. Also get information from the Library of Congress 'FREE'. Delores
