the Vital Records Online is a reputable company I think

but they are a private company separate and apart from the Health Dept of each state

as far as prices you are almost always better off requesting directly from the state and avoiding private companies - and you will get a lower price.

thanks for all these links

much appreciated!

In the case of obtaining records for family born in Puerto Rico, VitalChek offers contact and guidance through the process by phone; in contrast contacting government offices tends to work when one goes in person.

Dennis J Yancey

agreed

 

I usually just mail in a ( filled out printed form from on line) and send directly by postal mail to the health dept of each state and get back what I want - with no need for phone assistance.
