Places where it is tough getting records

So I have found a handful of states where it is next to impossible for genealogists to get birth and death records for individuals.

Virginia= Death records public after 50 years and birth records public after 100 years

Texas= Birth certificates after 50 yrs and death certificates after 25 years

Oregon= Birth records 100 years and death records 50 years

Oklahoma= Birth certificate available only to the individual named or the parent of individual

Kansas= Must state relationship, provide ID and state the reason you want the record. You may or may not get it.

Florida= Must show a direct relationship to the person and state the purpose of getting the record. So the same as Kansas, you may or may not get it.

Delaware= Birth records after 72 years and death after 40 years

Arkansas= Unclear - says access limited to family. To them, who constitutes a family?

Alaska= Birth after 100 years and death after 50 years

Alabama= Birth after 125 years and death after 25 years.
