Bobbi, I'm NOT looking for cheaper; I know the LDS would be cheaper. I do what is simple, quick, easiest, and most convenient for me (i.e. online ordering directly from the archives). Following the method you advise would have me spend about an hour first looking for a film number, then looking for a form to fill out, then filling out that form (probably by hand), and then driving somewhere to fax it. In the meantime I could have placed my order online in less than a minute's time. TIME is what's important to me in this particular endeavor. I think this thread has run its course -- at least it has for me, especially since most of the messages have been about how to order a copy of a certificate I don't want to order in the first place. Cost is not the issue here; distance of the relationship is the factor that leads me away from ordering the certificate. To those of you who did take the time to supply the actual information I was looking for -- i.e. what Catholic cemeteries to take a look at, you have my thanks. Maybe one day they will be searchable online like most of the Jewish cemeteries in the NYC area now are. -- Mary On 8/30/2011 4:35 PM, Bobbi wrote: > Hi Mary, > > If you have a Kinko's or a Mailboxes Etc. near where you shop, you could > send one from there.
