    1. [MISSISSIPPI] Ridiculous charges.

    3. I have been watching the messages about the injustice of SS fees. Think about this one. My grandfather died in 1945. Several years ago I ordered a copy of his death certificate and found that my own father had given the information and that, for some strange reason, had listed as Grandpa's mother's name the name of his grandmother. I have checked with the Vital Statistics in Jackson several times, with several attorneys, and all agree that I would have to hire a specific type of lawyer, wait until the "case" goes to court to present my "evidence" and pay a huge fee to accomplish the simple matter of correcting incorrect information. Meanwhile, anyone searching for genealogical information would find incorrect, misleading information that I have long tried to have corrected. How's that for injustice? I don't have the kind of money to waste when a simple matter of correcting information on a form (I can see having it notarized and paying for that) should be free and easy to do. How's that for trying to change the subject? Mary Lander
