Where to Write for Vital Records

Here's a site you might not think of for genealogical research - The Center for Disease Control and Prevention's website provides links to those who want to direct access to individual state and territory information. To use this valuable too, you must first determine the state or area where the birth, death, marriage or divorce occurred, then click on that state or area.

The site does provide guidelines to help ensure an accurate response to your request.
