Looks like if you needed a certified copy (which I doubt), they charge the usual $10 for that. http://www.wilson-co.com/rod.html http://www.wilson-co.com/rodvitalstat.html -Sandy On Feb 25, 2007, at 11:47 AM, Joanne Gaudio wrote: > Can anyone tell me how likely it is that, if a person's name is in > the NC Death Collection, there will be a death certificate > available?
