Hi List: My Grandfather ANTHONY JOHN MOCULSKI died at home, 09/05/1967, 113 Lincoln St., Elmont, NY 11003. Would anyone know where I would write to I would like to get his DEATH CERTIFICATE? Also, would like to acquire an obituary, but DEATH CERTIFICATE is the most important. Since he died at home I would assume it would be whatever Township Elmont is in???? I am a born Long Islander, but have lived upstate 57 or my 59 years, so unfamiliar with Townships, etc. Thanks for any help you can offer. Jan

Elmont is in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County, NY. You want to first inquire the Town Clerk of the Town of Hempstead to see if they handle Elmont deaths: http://www.townofhempstead.org/ They most likely do but some villages (depending on where your grandfather actually was pronounced dead by a physician) handle their own vital records (births and deaths only - marriages are handled at the Town level only). The Town of Hempstead has a terrific website and an online form (look under Town Clerk and then Registrar) for vital records. What you will have to do is prove your relationship for this death since it falls within the last 50y privacy protection laws of NY State. If your grandfather's name is the same as yours you may just need to send a photocopy of your driver's license. Call them to find out what they require these days as things have changed considerably (and continue to change as Town Clerks try to deal with the privacy law vs. identity theft issues) in the last few years. One piece of advice: Do not use "Genealogy" as your reason for requesting the record. Sometimes they get sticky about this term. Request the record for "Family Records." Inherited health problems can also be a valid reason for requesting a record but they have stricter requirements for releasing a death record WITH cause of death vs. one without. Give them a call. Good luck and best regards. Nancy.
