Liz asks, "Can someone tell me where I might be able to search for BMD certificates for 1930-1950 for NYC, Bronx, Queens ... ? For the time period you are researching, the Bronx (Bronx County) and Queens (Queens County), as well as Brooklyn (Kings County) and Staten Island (then it was the Borough of Richmond, Richmond County) were all part of NYC. I suspect that you mean Manhattan (New York County) when you write NYC. Regards, Walter Greenspan Great Falls, MT & Jericho, NY </HTML>
