H Sharon, Thank you so very much for the info regarding the address for Vital Statistics in NE, and for the idea about trying NE Vital Records on line. (You are the only respondent, and I was beginning to think there would be no hope.) You're most kind in offering your help, and if I have no luck with the suggested resources, I may be back in touch with you! Again, many thanks for your reply. It is greatly appreciated! Jeanne (New Jersey)
