Subject: [ROOTS-L] Re: Vital Statistics & FOIA
Sender: roots-in@roots-l.rootsweb.com

I wonder if a person has a right to marriage or death records after 
an individual dies. Some States are refusing to give these out unless 
a personal relationship is proven or they're providing only an 
abstract of the document.  I've also tried to get adoption records 
that are over 120 yrs. old and have been refused.

I don't know exactly what the FOIA covers.
