Marge, Whenever I write for any type of form, i.e., birth certificate, marriage license, death certificate, I have always written to the County Court House for that area. I have never had to wait for more than a few days. This is the address that I have. When I first started researching I tried contacting the County Clerk and never got a response. Franklin County 63 W. Main St. Malone, NY 12953 Telephone: (518) 483-6767 Becky
