Thanks Pam. . .I will try the So. Bend address. I was getting death
certificates for my family tree from the state for several years and just
this year I got this 75 year restriction on cousins. Never had this before
and thought that the counties might be better about it.
Again, thanks!
Casey

Casey,
I haven't heard of this 75 year rule on any records except probate records
and wills. I've obtained many death certificates from the St. Joseph
County
Health Dept. Unless something has recently changed, the only
criteria
that
I know of is that you must be related to the person you are seeking
the
certificate on. Birth and Death Certificates are not part of public
records
in Indiana and can only be obtained by a relative.
Write to:
St. Joseph County Health Dept.
County City Building, 8th Floor
227 W. Jefferson Blvd.
South Bend, IN 46601
574/235-9638
Death Certs. are $7 cash only.
Hope this helps,
Pam

death certificate on my great grandfather, who died in South Bend/1944,
until 75 years had passed. I was wondering if I sent into the County of
St.
Joseph would I stand a chance of getting it or is the same ruling in
effect?
