The last time I tried to get a New Mexico death record (for 1968) I was told that I could not get a copy ......genealogy was not a good reason to order it. It had to be a "family member" ....it was my grandfather. I sent to Santa Fe for it. Maybe it was the year, being so recent, but they refused my request. He had only one child who is still living, and he is too ill to do it for me. I even said in my request that it did not have to be a certified copy. So has anyone else had this problem? Or is there another source to oder these records???? The sources that are links on the ancestry pages take you to a "paid" service are too expensive.
