But you must request all information in writing. The address is St. Dominic's Home 500 Western Highway, Blauvelt NY 10913-2027 Also, they will only give you what you ask for so if you want more than just general info. specify; for example, I asked what years my mother was there, who visited her , etc. I believe I also sent my birth cert, my parents marriage certif. and my mother and father's death certificate and my license as I wanted to prevent any unnecessary obstacles in obtaining the information which is confidential. I did not have a problem at all- and as a result of some info. that was provided, I was able to then get other info that I needed from other sources. Let me know how it goes.
