The sad part is that it is only a few genealogists--I call them name collectors--that do this type of posting. It is as if they are in some competition to find the largest number of people to put on their trees. If we would remember that genealogy is searching for your roots, your families past, and not collecting names, then states would not be adopting these rules. My advice? If you do not have copies of your birth certificates and marriage certificates, get them. You are going to need them someday and it may be very difficult to get them. Jean
