I once found a relative's death certificate which was 20 years off from her real age and the only reason I did not pass it by on the NYC Death Indexes was because it was a very rare name and I knew it was her.

You can also order a search for a number of years from NYC, altho that is more money.

The last time I find anything on her was on the 1910 census living with her son August Christiansen at 337 Guernsey St. in Brooklyn, NY. Im assuming she died between 1910 and 1920 but I cant find her death record on the IGG...there is a woman with her name on the IGG but the birth date would be about 6 yrs off so I dont think thats her. I have a distant cousin in Denmark who is writing an article for a genealogy magazine about her and she has asked me if I can help her find her death date or where she might be buried. Her husband died before 1900, his name was Christian Peter Christiansen and was born about 1841 in Denmark. Any help appreciated.
