Hello :-) Thank you very much for this information! If they have not been deceased for the '50-year' period, where would the death certificates be housed? In the county in which they died? Each state is different; some are in the local county offices; some are sent directly to the capitol. Just wondering about the rules governing SC. Thank you, Nancy E Parr -----Original Message----- From: St.Claire Sease <sclaires@bellsouth.net> To: SCNEWBER-L@rootsweb.com <SCNEWBER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 10:03 AM Subject: Re: [SCNEWBERRY] Newberry County Vital Records >After 50 years, the Dept of Health & Enviromental Control releases the death >certificates to the SC State Archives.
