The only decent genealogical resource for Scotland "Scotland's People."

What makes me sad is transcriptions are not the best and even films can be taken into account, take for instance my two instances, in NZ I read a film for the 1851 census in Scotland which was in a very poor reading state, knowing there was more than one film I ordered another and another in the hope could be read, ditto ! asked the librarian who could not help,and in the end gave up but took a job in Scotland for 6mths and ordered the film in Edinburgh fingers crossed, guess what absolutely readable and family proof. The second problem was we had an ancestor who had married again between census's with wife having the same christian name different place of birth (not unusual in census) common name for groom wife Elizabeth resulted if a few years of searching with nil result, BMD's would not help unless plenty of money and time and a whole lot of useless certificates, transcriptions held no clues but eventually a film from LDS was uncovered with the grooms occupation and place of abode stated on it, not transcribed of course but such a valuable snippet of info. I have seen the Fiche Index's disappear and now it will be the films what will be next ?

From my NY Genealogical & Biographical Society newsletter: New death indexes available for NYS and NYC Ancestry.com has just added another 16 years of searchable death index images for New York City. The new index is from 1949 to 1965 - images have been provided by Vitalsearch from NYC Health Department index images. While the images have been accessible online, this is the first time a fully searchable index to these images is available. In case you missed it, a massive collection of state-wide death indexes were put online for the very first time last month. Click here to read our blog, which was featured in the June 9 eNews <http://newyorkfamilyhistory.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=05f68293fbbc96820232dfd12&id=1543bf1158&e=a27fc18441>.

I thought--oh, these are available already? and then I realized that I moved to NYC in 1965, over 50 years ago. -- Elizabeth

If you would like a certificate that is on any of these films, send me the film number, the certificate number, the date of the event, and the name(s) on the certificate. If you go to the Search Records page at FamilySeach.org (https://familysearch.org/search), click on Film Number in the Restrict Records By section. Type in the film number and click the Search button. You will be brought to a page that lists names of people on the certificates in that film. You can either browse through the list or search for a particular surname in the Refine Your Search section (you may want to search with and without a first name). If you have a certificate number (from IGG, GGG, etc.) but no LDS film number, please be sure that it is within the county and the date and cert number ranges in the table below.

If you post the film numbers then people can look it up on the Family search page, and scroll through the names on the film to see if they find anyone their looking for, they can then provide you the name and cert number.

Thanks for this helpful info, Elizabeth. I am still in shock over this decision about making microfilm unavailable. Virginia From: Elizabeth Knowlton <knowltonew@earthlink.net> This information was passed on to me from the local Georgia genealogy guru who had it directly from the LDS church: If you borrow microfilm prior to the August 31st cut off date, you can request the loan be extended at no additional charge. Apparently, the microfilm will not be returned to Salt Lake and will remain on permanent loan with the library that requested it. And I expect this is so for all the film held at your local Family History Center that is there permanently now. -- Elizabeth ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NYC-ROOTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

The NYC DOH website says that you must be on their entitled persons list (spouse, domestic partner, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, etc.) in order to get any death certificate from them. I sent them an email asking if death certificates more than 50 years old could be obtained by people not on their entitled persons list and they responded, "NYC is a closed jurisdiction and death certificates from 1949 to present are not public records and you need to be one of the entitled relationships listed on our application." I found a number of death certificates of ancestors/relatives in the 1949-1965 database but I do not have an "entitled relationship". Has anyone had success in obtaining 1949-1965 death certs where you didn't have an entitled relationship?

Hi Bill, I was able to get a 1949 DC from the DOH for a 2x great-grandmother; I'm not sure if being in the direct line of descent helped, but they didn't make it easy, and returned my application the first time. Don't leave any blank fields, and don't use a form of ID set to expire in the coming months! I wrote about it here: http://whereyoucamefrom.blogspot.com/2015/08/ordering-vital-records-from-new-york.html Kathleen On Mon, Jul 10, 2017 at 10:38 AM, Bill Mayrose <wmayrose@hotmail.com> wrote: > The NYC DOH website says that you must be on their entitled persons list > (spouse, domestic partner, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, > etc.) in order to get any death certificate from them. > > > I sent them an email asking if death certificates more than 50 years old > could be obtained by people not on their entitled persons list and they > responded, "NYC is a closed jurisdiction and death certificates from 1949 > to present are not public records and you need to be one of the entitled > relationships listed on our application." > > > I found a number of death certificates of ancestors/relatives in the > 1949-1965 database but I do not have an "entitled relationship".

Grandmother called Nana born March 1893 said that this was in response to the men fighting the WW1 being gone she worked and and didn't go to college but was a graduate of a business college in bookkeeping. She was really good with numbers. So no it wasn't college type and she said professional.

I sent a reply to the question about this league back on July 2, it never went through, I pulled it up from my sent file today, and then it vanished when I tried to resend it, so here is an abbreviated reply. Daniel, if your grandmother is talking about when she was a young person ca. 1910-1930, then I suspect the women she entertained in her home were part of a women's college "league," traveling around playing at each others' colleges. I find no record of something official, separate from college games, during that time period for women. The first national league I know of was documented by the movie A LEAGUE OF OUR OWN, time frame WWII, beginning 1943 when so many American men were drafted that men's leagues were decimated. We were not in WWI long enough for that to be a problem. Women's basketball was very popular all over America in the 1930s-1950s (according to the mothers of many Southern women I knew in Women's Liberation during the 60s and 70s). That professional league, mostly in the mid-west, lasted until the early 1950s when women were again "persuaded" to stay home if their husbands made enough money to keep them there. We support the Dream basketball team here in Atlanta and hope you all have such professional teams in your area. -- Elizabeth
