In spite of what the other guy said, I have been estatic with the vital records received from the Archives and yes it does take a while, but, worth the wait. They are very good there but very understaffed. BTW I think the longest I waited was 86 days, but, I sent 3 requests in the same envelope and they sent me back more than I asked for as there were 2 people born in the same town, about the same time, with the same name, and they sent me the birth record for both. Good luck to you both, Diane
