Trying to get genealogy records while living out of state is frustrating. Genealogy requests are only done via snail mail and the web site is confusing. I requested a record in May, received a letter in June for additional documentation, and responded to their request in June. I didn’t receive any updates for 3 months, and then I receive another letter saying that the needed documentation is still outstanding. I tried calling the number on the letter, but there wasn’t any answer after 25 minutes on hold. I filled out the online contact form, and the employee that sent me the letter called my cell number. She called just after 4pm, and when I received her message at 4:15, the office was closed. She sent a follow up email, and I promptly responded. I have not heard back. The status of my record request is unknown. It’s frustrating because I’ve sent $50 for two records that I feel I may never see or receive an update on.

I writing to complain the office stated I needed a form a reg 27 a today when I called to receive a birth certificate. I called before to ask what I needed in wasn't informed of this but the worker was white not being rasict but why is it that ingnorance is so common with white folk . Anyway the worker must found it funny cause I haven't seen the form in hopefully she's fired .as well another worker I believe she was Mexican just hung the phone up in my face . I feel your office is very unprofessional and in it's sad that this kind of disrespect can go go overlooked but GOD SEE ALL IN KNOWS ALL BELIEVE THAT Serious red flag when worker are not trained correctly or just find this a way of being fun nothing is funny about someone wanting to get their identity. So others can know what or who they are dealing with. But as 2 pac says if you to fly 💸🕊️ ok hit the door 🚪
