I was working on a Manhattan death index for someone and I think the last one (last month) I indexed was 1886. Maybe it's not the same one however. In a message dated 12/16/2008 3:07:54 A.M.

However, the Family History Library has catalogued death records for the years in question: Index to deaths, New York City, 1888-1965, and films can be borrowed through your local Family History Center: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?displ ay=titledetails&columns=*%2C0%2C0&titleno=108651&disp=Index+to+deaths%2C+New+Y ork+City%2C+1888++ Of course, if you're willing to pay, you can contact the NYC Dept. of Records, Municipal Archives: http://www.nyc.gov/html/records/html/vitalrecords/death.shtml Pat ------------------------------ To contact the NYBRONX list administrator, send an email to NYBRONX-admin@rootsweb.com.
