Hi Kathy, Do you know that your guy in fact died in 1966, at this location? You shouldn't have to don't have to supply too much information, as I've done this before, and the price was $29.00. It does give you information about his first job and employeer. Why don't you send the name and I'll look at it and send you a response? I'm 95% certain thatyou do not need a death certificate, if it is the legitimate place. Take care.
