Unless someone with more knowledge of this subj contacts you,write to them after finding email address on www.google.com for state of ny death and marriage certificates. i think the last time i looked it was 25 dollars per certificate and you must ask for one with the cause of death,and parents names included or they (well nj does) send the generic one. linda Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
