Hi, Iam going to write a letter so I can acqire my great grandfathers birth certificate and i was wondering what kind of copy will i get? I hear there are 3 types of birth certificates. I'd prefer the extract because it has lots of info on it. Should i use the link that Billiedekid gave me to compose the letter so i can get the extract form? Thanks
