Thanks for replying. I too looked through births, deaths, & marriages. Knowing what I do now, I really need to go back. I did get a copy of my mother's birth and marriage certificate and a copy of my grandfather's death certificate. However, they would not let you make copies, they had to be certified. I now know I should have stayed a few more hrs. and wrote many items down. There records were easy to use. Maybe I'll go back. I am new at this and learning the hard way...mostly from mistakes...Shirley -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 6:27 PM Subject: Re: [TXLIMEST] Re: Birth & Death Cert. >Shirley, > >It has taken as long as 12 wks to get death cert from Austin.
