When I ordered a Death Certificate for Miles Edmund Bacon, I wrote on the request that I was requesting it for Genealogical Purposes. After they received my order, a very nice lady from Vital Statistics phoned me to let me know that I wouldn't be able to get it unless I was a descendant. I told her that Miles was married to my late Great-Aunt and that they only had one son, Charles Wesley Bacon in 1881 who, according to a letter from my Grandma, had never married and therefore, unless Charles had managed to survive 119 years, he was also dead and their family line would have ended with him. She was super nice and at that point said there would be no problem with them sending it to me and I received it last week. It took about 8 weeks by the way.
