International Vital Records  Handbook
Thomas Jay Kemp
Softbound  oversize volume  totaling
756
pages. Book  is in new  condition. Per the publisher;
This is the 7th edition of the
International  Vital Records Handbook,
a resource that is even more valuable today than it  was when it was first published. Not only does it give persons needing  certification of their own important life events the tools needed to obtain  these certificates, it also gives genealogists and historians the location--both  online and on-site--of vital records databases and indexes, as well as other  resources that could help further their research.
At one time or another everyone needs copies of birth, marriage,  civil union, divorce, death, or pre-adoption certificates for driver's licenses,  passports, jobs, Social Security, family history research, school enrollment,  proof of citizenship, or simple proof of identity. But the fact is that the  requirements and fees needed to obtain copies of vital records vary from state  to state and from country to country, often requiring tedious research and  wading through confusing websites of large agencies before the appropriate forms  can be obtained and the correct procedures followed. The
International  Vital Records Handbook
will put an end to all that, as it offers complete,  up-to-date information on where and how to request vital records. It also  includes copies of the application forms, where available, thus simplifying and  speeding up the process by which vital records are obtained, regardless of the  number or type of application forms required.
This edition contains
the latest application    forms and ordering information for each of the fifty states and, where    available, for the other countries of the world;
details about records that were created    prior to statewide vital records registration;
information on which records are    restricted and for how long, and whether "informational" or uncertified copies    of records are available to genealogy researchers;
locations of vital records collections,    online databases, and institutions of interest to genealogy researchers;
adoption search contact information and,    where available, pre-adoption birth record and adoption search applications;
key addresses of repositories or embassies    that might help you obtain copies of vital records in countries where neither    a centralized vital records registration system nor a vital records    application form is available.
Locating vital records and navigating your way through the  various privacy laws and storage facilities can be difficult. The
International  Vital Records Handbook
will make the process immeasurably easier.
Just what you need  for genealogy research.
