I have sent for two birth records and they tell me that they don't have the records. I think that I am just frustrated and don't know where to go next. It is very hard to keep sending money to the state and be told that they don't have any records. Is there a way to find out if the record is there before I send the money? I live in Arizona and it is not easy to take the trip. Thanks again Janet Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
