Vital Statistics Genealogy Searches for Unrestricted Records...   Effective January 1, 2003, The Vital Statistics Act was proclaimed providing unrestricted access to the following records: Births more than 100 years ago Marriages more than 80 years ago Deaths more than 70 years ago Over the years, the data collected on registration forms has changed. The older records have less information available. The database contains limited information. For example, many of the records do not contain the father's name on a birth. For all information collected at the time of registration, a copy of the record will have to be ordered. If you wish to obtain a certified copy of the original record for genealogical purposes based on a search you have done, the fee for each record is $12.00. No refunds or replacement of documents will be given for copies of the records issued based on your search. If you wish Vital Statistics to perform the search on your behalf, the regular fee of $25.00 will apply. If you wish to purchase copies of any of the records you located, simply add them to your Shopping Cart.
