Hi Melanie, I can't thank you enough for giving me this information.? You have saved me a lot of money and made it easy to make progress on my research.? THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have a question for you and/or anybody on the list. If you can't find the death certificate on the Italiangen or Germangengroup sites does it mean the death certificate is missing and not available or is it just missing from the index on these sites?? I can't find two of my ancestors?in the index on these sites and I thought I was out of luck.? I requested a search at the NY Records Center (cost $36) but I have not heard anything and expect I won't get anything.? Is it worth trying again through LDS as you mention below?? Or are the changes of success pretty grime based on not finding them?in the index on Italiangen/Germangengroup sites?

Go to www.familysearch.org and click on Forms (right hand side) Click on Request for Photocopies: Census, Books, Microfilm, Microfiche and print off this form. (When you get your response, they will send you more blank forms, so you only have to do this once) Next, fill in your name and address and credit card information on the front of the form. On the back middle section labeled, General Microfilm or Microfiche, print the information you need: Name of Individual, Certificate #, Event Type, Date, and County or borough. Now for the hard part. You need to find the microfilm reel number. Go back to www.familysearch.org and click on Family History Library Catalogue on the top bar. Next, select Place Search Under both "Place" and "Part of", type in New York and click Search. (If you need to order records for a county such as Kings or Bronx, enter that in place of "New York") Select: New York, New York (City) or the county you need. On the next screen, look for Vital Records". You may need to click "View next set of matching topics" and scroll toward the end. When you click on Vital Records, many different types of records will display. Check carefully for the records you need, paying close attention to the county/borough and the years. Click on the type of record, county, and time period you want. A description of the records will display. It's a good idea to read this and make sure you are ordering what you need. Click on "View Film Notes" in the upper left hand corner. Now you are at the actual reel listing. Look for the year and certificate # range you want. Be careful because it is so easy to write down the wrong reel. Write the reel number in the first column of your form. You can request up to 8 certificates at a time, every two weeks. I've found it very easy to fax the request to the number on the front of the form. I usually get a response in two weeks. If you don't have the certificate number and can't find it on www.italiangen.org, you can also order the film containing the death index for that year in the same method. LDS will send you a copy of the page with the name you are searching and then you can request the certificate in your next request.

Hi Henny, Is it possible your ancestors died in another place?  One of our ancestors lived in Brooklyn, but she died on Long Island, so we found her death certificate in the Suffolk county; LI,  NY, records,  Otherwise, if you are sure they died within the 5 boroughs, maybe you could find where they are buried.  If you want to share the name and aprox dod for your ancestors, I will look around to see if I find anything here in NY?  Pat NY   ________________________________ From: "oconnortoo@aol.com" <oconnortoo@aol.com> To: ny-irish@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, July 2, 2009 10:43:07 PM Subject: Re: [NY-IRISH] Ordering Certificates from LDS Hi Melanie, I can't thank you enough for giving me this information.?

Thank you very much for the offer of help.? I have some good news.? After 5 weeks of waiting, I just received the death certificate today from NYC for my GG Grandfather and I think I found the death certificate for my GG Grandmother in the index.? The name was misspelled, but I'm sure it is her; I'll find out for sure when I get the copy. Alas, the bad news is no additional info (place of birth, names of parents) was given on his death certificate. Thanks again for the offer.

Hi Henny. It depends on the time frame and the Borough that you're looking for. I know the dates covered are limited, which you've probably already checked out. The Italian web site starts with 1891 for Manhattan, but I've done transcriptions for 1882 deaths for Manhattan and 1888 for Kings, neither of which are online yet. I had to stop helping (I hope to be able to start up again soon), and I'm guessing there are still more records to be transcribed. What year are you looking for? You could email John Martino and ask if there's anything in the works for your particular interest. The spreadsheet that I have for Manhattan deaths contains a thousand names, but only from the surnames starting with Cunningham (Thomas) and ending with Diefenbacker (Lizzie), and as I said, only the year 1882. It would be a miracle if this was what you needed! As a side note, John Martino and the Italian site is really in need of contributions and volunteers to keep their projects going. If anyone can help in any way, go to www.italiangen.org .
