Hi List, If anyone that is a member of Ancestry, would you do me the favor and look at the search for 1891-1902 New York City birth I need the cert.# for JOHN CRONIN b. Feb. 8, 1902 Kings Co. Brooklyn,NY Thanking you in advance. Marge Spille
Marge, As others have said, 'your' John Cronin doesn't seem to be listed. I can think of two possibilities He was missed in the index or some error was made, ie misspelling. Or, perhaps, another thing ... in NJ, it was common for the birth cert to have the given name blank. Baby was named at the time of baptism. So, he wouldn't be listed under John in the index. The listing would be for a male baby Cronin on that date. Don't know if this was a common occurrence in NYC. I don't know where you are. The NYC Public Libray has copy of these records. If you're not close, but if you have a LDS near you, they have copies of the index records for that period. You could order and check the microfilm yourself to try and find him.
