I WISH CONTACTING NYC WAS AS EASY FOR ME AS IT WAS FOR 'ROSIE" I WROTE FOR A DEATH CERT. FROM 1885 AND THEY WROTE ME BACK TO TELL ME IT WASN'T THERE---THEY LOOKED FOR ME. TOOK 6 WKS FOR THAT ANS. WHEN I TOLD THEM THEY WERE WRONG, IT TOOK 2 DAYS TO GET AN ANS. I HAVE HAD RUN AROUNDS ON BIRTH, MAR. AND DEATH REC. B

For a record from that time frame, why not order the certificate from the FHL? They are $2.00, with a minimum charge of $4.00. I find the turn around time is usually about two weeks.
