Yesterday, before work, I dropped off 4 items to be mailed out at the post office. One was a few photos I had promised to send to my little brother. The other 3 were genealogy related.
I sent in a request to the state of Missouri for a copy of my grandfather, Wesley Blom's death certificate. I have a copy of his delayed birth certificate already and figured it was finally time to get the death certificate to go with it.
I also have a couple of requests on their way to Illinois regarding my great great grandfather, Arie Blom. One is a copy of his death certificate, and the other is a copy of his naturalization record.
So now, I get to sit back and anxiously await my new-to-my-genealogy-collection documents to show up in my mailbox. I think I am most excited about the naturalization records as it will be the first time I've seen a set of them.
I can sympathize with you. I sent a request about 3 weeks ago for 2 death certificates, a marriage certificate, and a birth certificate to Vital Records in South Dakota. I call home around 3:30 every day to inquire whether my daughter checked the mail and what was in it. It's nerve-wracking.
