American Certificates

[marjon]

Has anyone in Australia had cause to buy certificates from America? Who does one write to? How much are they? How long would it take? This information would be helpful to a few people here in Adelaide.

Marjon what part of America are you hoping to get the certs from or is it several areas in America?

You may know that there was no nationwide registration of BMD's they were do statewide. Some even did not start BMD registers until as late as 1919.

thanks everyone for your input here. I will pass on the info to my friend (not quite sure where their ancestors were) - its good to know about genealogy in other countries too! Cheers:biggrin:
