I was wondering if there is anybody that visits the Brooklyn City Clerks office that would be willing to look at the Index of divorces to see if my great-aunt Elizabeth (Nee O'Donnell) Priest. She married Simon Priest on November 15, 1903. I have been told that the Index is open for the public to look at. Simon married Mary May 10, 1908 and there is no record of Elizabeth dying before this date. The family has always said that she is buried in Holy Cross cemetery. Thanks for any help you are able to provide. John McGreal Beaver, PA

Hi, I am headed to the NYPL soon to look at their birth index. Does anyone know if the mother's first name is listed for 1948 - like it is on the earlier indexes at the Municipal Archives? Kathy

Hello Brooklyn, You may have been frustrated finding your correct Marriage Certificate in Brooklyn/Kings County, because when you click on "Bride," no name appears. I hope this explains this problem better, and offers you some other options. Whether you go to http://stevemorse.org, that leads you to the Italian site> http://www.italiangen.org/Default.htm, or the German group> http://germangenealogygroup.com/, they all use the same database: the Department of Health records. The NYC Municipal Archives has microfilmed indices for Brides and Grooms organized by borough first, then by year. These records also rely on the same Department of Health database. Now here's the glitch: You cannot find a Bride Index for Kings County in the 1920s [perhaps more years] because these films are not there. Staff informed me they don't exist. So, this is why you can't find a bride's name at the three online sites mentioned above. So, how do you work around the absence of Brides films in 1920s? l) Search GROOM on the three sites above. If the surname is unusual, it is probably yours. However, you are dependent on the fact that the groom's name was transcribed accurately. Then, someone still has to check the actual certificate to match the bride you need. NOTE*: Although the German and Italian sites use the same databse, their search forms are different, so you may want to try both. 2) Search the Brooklyn homepage: The Bklyn Info Pages Website: www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/. Click on MARRIAGES. Click on the first letter of the surname. *NOTE: Marriages here include other boroughs besides Brooklyn/Kings County; Manhattan marriages are unavailable on the NYC-L list. 3) Search on familysearch, org. 4) Check Marriage Licenses, unavailable online, available at the NYC Municipal Archives again by borough first, then year. These are only available from 1908-1929. The database for these is the NYC Clerk's office, not DOH. After 1930, you can wwrite to the NYC Clerk's Office with form http://www.cityclerk.nyc.gov/downloads/pdf/mail_in_request_form.pdf. For boroughs other than Manhattan, you have to contact those borough's City Clerks Office and they must be more than 50 years old. 5) Skip the municipal record, and search for the Marriage certificate through the closest church or synagogue to the bride's home address. Please note, this glitch only affects Brooklyn marriages in the 1920s+ time frame. Who said it was going to be simple? Barb N of NYC ************** Gas prices getting you down?
