No it isn't. So many of us are doing research it is the number 1 hobbie in the US. It seems like those that have a obit or death, war, these tpye of things if you have 2 good records you send send proof to some places and they will record a delay birth or death or whatever. This helps restore the records that have been destroyed. MO. is one of those places that is so great for doing that so is ILL. few people ask for these because so many don't bother doing it. But the delay record even says what was used to record the record.

How many are doing this. I know census and such use can't use as these change so much but some things don't. > > Barbara > > eor@saber.net > > > > ==== MO-OREGON-HISTORY Mailing List ==== > > http://www.oregoncountyhistory.net/ > > > ==== MO-OREGON-HISTORY Mailing List ==== > http://www.oregoncountyhistory.net/ >
