It took me 2 years and 7 attempts, each with a little more info then the one before it to finally get a death certificate for my ggrandfather who died in February 1910 and is also buried in Holy Cross, when I finally received it about 4 months ago, I saw that our last name was spelled wrong on the death certificate. I am assuming that some bright person in New Castle noticed that the last name was almost the same and decided to look a little further and see that all the other info I had sent matched. I think when you send for a death certificate you just have to hope that whoever gets your request feels like working that day. -----Original Message----- From: TCall2000@aol.com [mailto:TCall2000@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, December 07, 2002 5:19 PM To: PA-OBITS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PA-OBITS] This is getting ridiculous Would you believe I received a certification of no death record today for a great-great granddad who died in May of 1920? I KNOW he died in Philadelphia and he is buried in Holy Cross in Yeadon, but there's no death record???? Give me a break - these people in New Castle just don't want to look! ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
