This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JRB.2ACE/1519 Message Board Post: I managed to get a sneak preview of the NYC Metro Area Grooms Database covering 1908-1936 and let me tell you, this may be even better then the death index. I found several listing of marriages I was looking for in seconds. This data base should be available for free soon at the IGG website (Am I allowed to say this?). We are just freeing up space now to make room for it. It is available now at the Plainview LDS and I believe at NARA in Manhattan. Tony
