<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=4 face=Arial>Great--thanks for an outline
letter.....am going to reword this a little....we need to add genetic genealogy
as necessary. Today many physicians are asking genetic questions of their
patients and this is excellent for our health and that of our children.
Genetic genealogy has eased the mind of my cousin who had stage 4 cancers....yes
plural..and because of the genetic testing, her children are not prone.
She was an oddity. She is the single mother of a 14 year old and a 4 year
old. After much medication and chemo, she will survive. But, without
the history of her parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, and grandparents, she
would not have been able to receive the attention and probably the cure.
She is a test case. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Our most important concern is the
feature that it appears to seek adding 25 years to the period of
time which the general public cannot access vital statistics. I
understand that many people may see this as strengthening safeguards
against identity theft and creation of phony identification. In
reality all it will accomplish is making life more difficult for we
in the genealogical community and have little or no effect on those
intended consequences.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: medium"><FONT
size=2 face=arial>For a mere $39.95 with my handy
dandy MasterCard I recently signed on to a web service
that pretty much gives me access to the vital records of anyone I
want information on, the more recent the information I want the
better. I bought it because a cousin was wanting to contact an ex
wife of her brother; boom for an additional $2.95 for the "details"
i.e. exact address and current phone number. In many states this
service provides actual copies of documents. So if the intent is to
protect identification, it is a case of closing the barn door after
the horse is gone. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: medium"><FONT

creating a new level of State government at a time when we can't pay
for what we have. If there are changes that genuinely need to be
made in records keeping, they should be administratively handled
within our current vital statistics organization.</FONT></DIV>
