Hi, Back in the 80's and 90's I sent to New Castle for some death record copies. They were not certified and were for genealogy purposes. I received nice photocopies of the originals. A couple years ago I sent for my father's birth record and was disappointed. It arrived as a certified typed copy and had only his name, date of birth, parents and county of birth. I was hoping it would at least have the village where he was born. The information I found on the PA Dept. of Health web site says they only issue certified copies. Does that mean they no longer issue the photocopies of the original? Has anyone sent for a birth or death record copy recently and is so, what are they sending if you indicate it's for genealogy? Thanks for any and all help. Elaine
