I heard this from someone else but I still don't see the NYC bmd's with any icon in their catalog.  The little camera means you have to go to an FHL; the larger camera means you can see the image at home.  Can you give some examples of what's available for NYC? thanks, Vrginia From: Gail Jorgensen <gailjmom@gmail.com>   I am on Long Island visiting family and went to Plainview family history center while here. I heard that they had tons of New York city vital records micro films in stock so that was my purpose. Imagine my happy surprise to find out that thousands and thousands of actual certificates that had been digitalized were just released and were available for direct viewing at the center with out using microfilm. I was even able to download the ones that I accessed to my very own computer.

I only had two hours so unfortunately I was just looking at the ones that were on my list and those were all marriage and death records from the 1860s through 1880. According to the conversation around me and the records that I found this is what I know so far: death records and marriage records and some birth records. I know that some of the people in the family history center where I was were scrambling to put together help sheets or cheat sheets so that folks would know. Everything was all so new. I am sure more information will be forthcoming over the next few weeks. If you search at home the icons that you mention Virginia will help folks know which records are available in the family history center is and which ones are available online for everyone.
