Can someone point me to a good discussion that includes a clear description of holdings of the Municipal Archives? I’m interested in deaths in Manhattan between 1854 and 1860. As I recall from previous visits, one can search microfilms of index cards that take you to ledger books which list death information. At some point in the 1860s, ledger books are replaced by death certificates that can be ordered for $15 (online) or $11 (in person). What year is that? Using FamilySearch, I have death information for six people from the database: "NY, NY Municipal Deaths, 1795-1949”. The folks I’m looking for all died 1854 to 1860. On thing I’d like to know is what additional information (if any) will I get from the Municipal Archives if I pay $15? Where can I get this kind of detail? Something must be available. Thanks.
