You need to include in your request: Name of the deceased (middle names help) Date of Death Place of Buried Last address if know Place of Death (if know) Your relationship to the person you are requesting the record for - this would be you great Aunt Reason for request - Complie family history Each search is limited to one Bourgh, considering place uried I would try the Bronx. Manhatten & Brooklyn Irish Catholic people more likly found at Calavery. You must include a self addressed stamped envelope. One copy with one search year is $10.00, each search additional search yera is $2.00, example a five year search would be $18.00. The death certificate will give you place of birth, you can then request a birth certificate. Born in USA birth certifictate will include number of chilfren born previous to the current child, and number still living. Parents names, including Mothers madien name and parents nativity. Using this information, you can again go to the census, to find the parents and the names of the children. Identifying one child provides an important search tool for the rest of the family memebrs. Hope this helps. Pat
