Thanks for this, Kathleen. You also could print all pages and physically cut and paste your findings, side by side. Did you find these deaths on ItalianGen.org under: "EARLY Brooklyn and Queens Deaths?" which are limited to these geographic locations?>>>> Brooklyn: Flatbush 1847 - 1851, 1880 - 1896 Flatlands 1880 - 1897 Gravesend 1870 - 1899 New Lots 1881 - 1896 New Utrecht - 1870 1899 Other Towns 1881 - 1896 Queens: Newtown 1881 - 1897 College Point 1890 - 1897 Long Island City 1871 - 1897 Town of Jamaica 1881 - 1897 Village of Jamaica 1890 - 1897 Rockaway Beach 1897 - 1898 Village of Far Rockaway 1890 - 1897 Town of Far Rockaway 1890 - 1897 Village of Flushing 1890 - 1897 Village of Whitestone 1890 - 1897 Town of Flushing 1881 - 1897 Richmond Hill 1896 - 1897 Brooklyn Deaths labeled as "Early" differ from "standard* Brooklyn Deaths of the same era. Both are searchable in-person on SEPARATE microfiche. "Standard," not EARLY, Deaths began in 1866. FYI If the NYC Municipal Archives told you that a death record was "Not found," it may be because you did not specify that they were from the "Early" collection on IGG. "Manhattan and Brooklyn deaths prior to 1866 were recorded in ledger book format; the following information was recorded: date of death, decedent's name, age, residence and nativity; cause of death, burial place, and name of medical attendant."

You have to scroll through 4 pages, but imaginethat they are side by side and you are reading each line across all 4pages. Everyone keeps saying that certificates started in 1864, but this iswhat I got when ordering a Brooklyn death record c. 1874.Kathleen
