This is because they are directly related or the person in question asking for the birth record- not like us asking for genealogical reasons- you have to be that person or the legal guardian as below a parent or the person - other than that you wait for about 75 years or longer before you can even touch another persons birth record- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Chenault" <dchenault@cfl.rr.com> To: <flduval@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 23, 2006 8:27 AM Subject: Re: [FLDUVAL] Adoptions >I don't think that's exactly right.
