From: Town of Bristol To: NYS-LGH@listserv.nysed.gov Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 2:11 PM Subject: Fee for Vital Records Assemblyman Brian Kolb (R,C - Canandaigua) is asking for public and organizational support for Assembly bill A.07209, which would cut the cost of copying and reviewing records for genealogical and other purposes in half. The bill also allows genealogical Society members to review records at no cost. Records also used for membership in many organizations such as National Daughters of the American Revolution, Sons of the American Revolution, Mayflower Society, Founders and Patriots Organization, to name a few. Also for Passports and similar things. The Schools in New York State require children to do family histories in the early grades. These records could be of use to them. Your inquiry to your local legislator would be of benefit in getting this law passed. You could contact Rep Kolb at kolbb@assembly.state.ny.us for more information
