Jo: Have you checked http://www.italiangen.org/. And no, it is not only Italians. On the left, go to Databases and at the bottom is the NY Grooms list. At the bottom of the next page is the search. I found 6 Michaels and 6 Michael J. If you know the approximate date, it should be easy. I found my grandparents here. The only thing is this might be the date of registration or something, because it had their date as 10/29/1921, and we always celebrated their anniversary as 10/31. The directions to order to order a copy are right there and I think I got my copy in just a few weeks. Good Luck; AnneMarie
