Below is an email I received from my good friend John Martino. John spearheads all the volunteer projects going on in NY for the advancement of Genealogy research. He has already made some great achievements. To all volunteers Look what we did! We put 1,400,000 death records on the Internet. The years that this latest searchable database cover the years 1891 to 1911. These are the difficult years to do look-ups. The microfilm has to be viewed by each month and each county. Now you can put a name in and the computer will search the entire database. New Project We are presently working on a similar project that has caused us all great difficulty. It is the New York City Bride's Index. This index is alphabetical by the first two letters of the bride's family name. Most of us give up after a few minutes with this microfilm. The New York City Municipal Archives has allowed us to have the original index cards to use for typing. We have the records for Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. from 1871 to 1937. We will get Manhattan and Richmond after we have completed these counties. We need volunteers to help complet this most important project. If you can help us, we will make arrangements to get the cards to you to do this work at home. Contact: John Martino 631 368-8174 or [email protected]
