I have ordered several informational copies of the death certificates from Alameda County and it is like the original certificate and the mother's maiden name is on, the only difference is you can't use it for identification purposes. I need to order my Aunties one soon.

Dear Listers, According to the Monterey County Gen. Soc newsletter, JanFeb 2012, there is a bill before the Assembly, AB1053 which will raise the cost of Birth & Death records in California $9 more dollars. I you need to order any Birth/Death records you need to do it next week or pay another $9 on top of whatever your County charges or the State charges!! According to Janel Davidson, who wrote the article, if you want a certified copy you need to go in person or have your mail-in application notarized. Otherwise, you will get an INFORMATIONAL copy, not valid to establish idendity. The only bad thing is that on the informational copy the mother's maiden name MAY be blocked out! For more info about where the bill stands go to: www.leginfo.ca.gov/bilinfo.html Rosemarie -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
