Moan, moan!

Post by gardener »

On June 26th I wrote to the records office in Trinidad asking if they could search for a death certificate of a person believed to have died in Trinidad in early Jan 1921.

On Friday I got the reply (4 months later) saying that for 7 dollars they would be able to search for the certificate IF I could tell them when (date) and where (where in Trinidad) the person died.

Hmm, the reason I want the certificate is that I want the exact date and place of his death!!!! :roll:

It cheered me up to see that it took 14 days from the date the letter was written to the date the post office in Trinidad stamped it - in between it was stamped by two government departments.

So no more complaining about the GRO please :lol:

Could you imagine being a Public Servant in Trinidad?

Shall I work today or succumb to the surf, sun and sand?

So I think the seven month delay is reasonable :)
