I tried to do a search and was willing to pay, but the check was sent back because they need a specific date. The deaths prior to 1866 for Manhattan are not indexed. They are in a ledger book format and you have to go to Chambers Street and look through the micro-filmed index. I was wondering if anyone would know if this has been copied and where it could be located, the clerk at the Archives did not know. What does one do if they cannot travel to NYC? Any ideas would be appreciated. Even if you know a genealogist who goes there and does this work for someone. Thank you. Linda ------ End of Forwarded Message
