Patti, I've had trouble getting certificates from the New York City area also. I've found that if I first get the certificate number from the indexes available on microfilm through the Family History Centers, I get my certificate within a month. Even with the exact date and location, if I don't have the certificate number I get a notice saying they couldn't find the certificate. Amazingly when I ordered a certificate near the end of August, 2001, I received the certificate on September 26, 2001. Their office is just blocks away from the World Trade Center. Good luck.
