thanks to all who sent the info to me on how to request records in Pa.. I would like to pass along this information from our local Vital records here in Chillicothe Ohio. the cost for birth and death records is only .50 until July 1, 2003. then because of the recent House Bill 95 passage, the cost jumps to $10.00 per copy. and only certified copies will be available. so if anyone needs this kind of info , please do it soon. thanks again, you have all been most helpful. gwen
