I need the name of an individuals mother from his death certificate. I even have the certificate number but I can't get any help from the Virginia Dept of Health. They will not release a death certificate until it is 50 years old and the one I need is only 46. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of brick wall and/or does anyone know how to get around this kind of brick wall? Any suggestions or ideas would be most welcome.
