Hi, thanks for all the information everyone has posted. It is appreciated. I have Irish ancestors who immigrated Abt 1850 and initially lived in the lower East Side (probable, not yet proven) and then moved to S. I., showing up in the NY state census, 1865. My g-g-grandfather Francis (Frank ) JANES died Dec. 8, 1885 at home on Staten Island. His death was a coroner's case. I live in Minnesota and would love a copy of the report. I understand the records are at Chambers St., in Manhattan. Other than my taking a trip to NYC, does anyone know how I could obtain a copy of that record? Many thanks!!

Funny, after waiting for years to do it, I was in Manhattan Friday for a family event and was going to skip out and go to Chambers Street for a naturalization, but a huge crane fell a few blocks away on Worth St and made traffic terrible I was told. Only had a few hours so I decided not to make my wife mad and stayed with her and the maniac children. I guess now I will send a written request for it. I just got some coroners information from a death in Albany County, NY In 1968. I called and they explained what I needed to do, it was at the county hall of records but was still under the custody of the coroner, so I had to have a notarized request form that they mailed me and a copy of my drivers license and the death certificate also. I would just call and ask how to do it by mail.

Hi Michael, The NYC Archives only has Coroner's Records for specific years. I will be researching there this week. Please email me offlist about this. AOL is having some issues today. I'm having trouble getting on and staying online.
