Message forwarded from [email protected] Sheila; New York City Grooms Index This database contains the indexes to over 1,825,000 marriages recorded by the New York City Health department for the 5 Boroughs of New York City, from 1908 to 1936, and the period 1895 to 1897 for the boroughs of Brooklyn and Manhattan. The marriage is listed only by the name of the groom. Unique to Kings County (Brooklyn), both the bride’s and groom’s names appear as separate entries in the index books from 1895 to 1897. http://www.italiangen.org/NYCMarriage.stm I have posted this before on this site, but I have used it and been able to send for marriage certificates for my grandparents, 10/31/21m and for an aunt, 03/24/21. Both these families were RC from Ireland. I found that my GP were married at Church of Good Shephard, Broadway and 20th, Manhattan. NY. The site lists the grooms name and the date, location and certificate number and has a link to request the certificate, I my case the certificate listed their individual addresses, places of birth, parents names, location of marriage filled in by priest, witnesses and on page 2 signatures of bride, groom and witnesses, my grandmother's sister and her husband. I am so fortunate to have a picture from that day! This Italian site has been a great resource for me. Good luck; AnneMarie
