Techniques- Certificates of Birth, Marriage, Death
Note: As the researcher is copying information provided in the official
records, he/she has limited latitude in adding additional information. If material is added, place a bracket around it. {,} I would suggest making multiple copies of these forms, (50 to begin) and when you locate records of the family, copy the information to the form and save lots of copy fees from the Courthouse, State Archives, Churches, etc. Follow the techniques listed on the Individual Record. Place brackets where information is corrected like spelling of words, dates, etc. These forms are a compilation of forms found over the years and are not specific to one agency or time period. You can create your own forms to match your own needs.
