I was referring to family search, that time period is not available If NYC has them that would be good but they do not even have an index which shows what is available Doing research in NYC leaves a lot to be desired given that BMD indexes were done by volunteers. for incorporation into the IGG and GGG. Ob the flip side CA and other states have many more available records. Why is it that NY can not do this ?? -----Original Message----- From: Diane Jacobs <[email protected]> To: 'Robert Pieterse' <[email protected]>; nyc-roots <[email protected]>; bobbidoll <[email protected]>; NYC-Roots-L <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Jul 18, 2015 7:01 am Subject: RE: [NYC-ROOTS] Barber List I don't think this is entirely true.

At Surrogate's, Wills must be ordered from warehouse then viewed on a return trip. NY, especially NYC, has become more defensive about records since 9/11. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Pieterse via <[email protected]> To: geniediane <[email protected]>; nyc-roots <[email protected]>; bobbidoll <[email protected]>; NYC-Roots-L Ob the flip side CA and other states have many more available records.

That is quite a generalized statement and hardly specifies what records and for what time periods. *****************************************************************************************************************************..
