Hi, all. I'm helping my wonderful sister-in-law research her family. (OK -- I'm doing all the work, but love to share it! <grin>) Is there any way I can get Buffalo-area death records from 1859-1860, and 1870-1880? I know her great-grandfather was baptized at St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church in 1859 in "Buffalo Plains". Her ggf died 1859-1860 (between his son's baptism and the 1860 Census), and her ggm died between the 1870 and 1880 censuses. I checked the FHC catalogue, and while they do have records from St.Joseph's for that time, there are no death records, only birth and marriage. And apparently civil death records don't start until 1886. The family name was CLERGET or CLERGI or CLERGY. Thanks for any suggestions, Hilary Henkin North Hollywood, Calif
> And apparently civil death records don't start until 1886. I don't think that's altogether true. I know I got my ancestor's death record (such as it was) from 1881 by writing to Buffalo, many years ago. Would "Buffalo Plains" have been considered Buffalo? I would look up the county or city clerk and see what they say. Good luck, Janet
The city of Buffalo Inactive Records Center on River Rock Drive has death indexes from 1852 to 1944. You may need someone local to perform the lookup there, as they are lightly staffed (but very helpful.) "Buffalo Plains" is shown in an 1866 Buffalo Atlas here: http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/38348/ -it encompasses North Buffalo and University Heights. In 1881 this area was part of Buffalo, so you may find it at the Inactive Records Center.

The phone number for this facility is....(716)874-6401....Perhaps you could call them to find out about out of town services. As George says they are most helpful but staffing is low.

HI Hilary, Glad to see you are still working on your sister-in-law's family history. The Antozzi's are related to the Clerget's through marriage. Ceasar Antozzi had married a Clerget. I sent you pictures and info a couple of years ago. We lost Cousin Leonard Danna at 96 years old. He was fun to talk to and he related stories. He started writing about his family in a notebook and his daughter is typing everything. Would love to know how your family search is going with the Clerget family. You can reach me at bjantoz@gmail.com. Take care, Jeri Antozzi On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 4:36 PM, <hilary@mymishpocha.net> wrote: > Hi, all. > I'm helping my wonderful sister-in-law research her family.
