International vital records handbook /

Most of us will need a copy of a birth, marriage, or death certificate at some point in our lives. Through his pioneering vital records handbook, Kemp, a former genealogical librarian, has filled this need. For the first time, this third edition includes all countries, forms for divorce certificates, and alternative record locations, including vital records microfilmed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City and its branches, the Family History Centers around the world. The latest edition of this ready-reference work, last updated in 1990, includes current addresses, phone numbers, fees, dates of records, and similar information, covering some 75 pages more than the previous edition. With the latest forms and information for all the states and other countries included, it is essential for all reference desks. In both institutional and home libraries, the completely new third edition will replace the older editions.-Judith P. Reid, Library of Congress (c) Copyright 2010.
