Nancy- Greenwich St runs along the west side of Manhattan from the Battery up to 14th St, running through Wards 1, 3, 5, 8, 9 If house numbering hasn't changed since 1880, current day MapQuest shows 418 a couple of blocks below Canal St (Holland Tunnel). That would put it in the 5th Ward. Best of luck in finding your man.

I do not have access to any newspaper online but the Brooklyn Eagle. If someone out there could help me with the NY times I would appreciate some help. I have an ancestor whose name is Martha Ethel Marshall. She went by the name Ethel. Somewhere around 1899 she marries a man named Kearney/ Kearny(I do not know his first name). I have looked on the Italian site and found no record of the marriage. I have also looked in the index for 1900 census and she is not listed with her new husband. She does however show up as a widow on the 1910 census with their daughter Muriel saying that they had been married 11 years and had only 1 child. This makes me believe that he probably died soon after they were married. In the 1920 census she is shown as being married to a George Glanz they are living in Freeport, N. Hempstead, NY (on LI). There is no record of their marriage on the It. site either. I am hoping that the NY papers will either give something about deaths or marriages. Thanks for the help. Joan

According to the IGG NYC marriage indexes, an Ethel Marshall married a John E. Kearney on 9 Dec. 1900 in Manhattan, certificate #20566. According to the IGG NYC death index, a John Kearney died on 19 Feb. 1916 at the age of 45 in Manhattan, certificate #5959. This jibes with the age of the John shown living with Ethel and Muriel in the 1910 census.

Hi all Does anyone know what streets or Avenues are located in the Dist 10 & Ward 17? I am looking for a Catholic Church in that area in 1860. Also did marriages have to be recorded with the city at that time?? Thanks Mary in VA

If someone else has not already offered, I think I can obtain this certificate for your English friend, provided you have the name, the date, the borough, and the certificate number. I will be ordering from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Their service is pretty fast -- two to three weeks. When the document arrives, I will scan it and e-mail it to whomever you designate.

Judy, You can view the indexes to B,M,D at the Plainview fhc (unless they have gotten rid of them since a couple of year ago but I doubt it) but for anything else beyond that you will need to got to the NYC archives. Ask the Bklyn county clerks office if they have what you want. They might have some too.

Hello, Judy....... I don't think you will be able to look at the certificate films anywhere other than at the NYC Municipal Archives at 31 Chambers Street. You can look at indexes in a number of other places, but the actual certificate films are only available at the Muni Archives---sorry!

Hello, I hope someone can help me. I would like some advice as to where I might be able to obtain any further information on JAMES McKINNEY (born in Antrim, Ireland on 25 Nov. 1884 - although he later states 1883). 1) I have not been able to track down any immigration record for James but Irish census data would indicate sometime from 1901-1911. 2) On his 1918 Draft registration card, James states the following: DOB: 25 Nov. 1883 Place of work: 111 Broadway, NYC. Name & Address of someone who ill always know your address: Mrs. John Cavanagh (friend), 6 137 W 63 NYC 3) On his 1942 Draft registration card, James states the following: DOB: 25 Nov. 1883 Place of work: Chubb & Son, John St. NYC. Name & Address of someone who ill always know your address: Mrs. Catherine Cavanagh, 6 Amsterdam, Ave., NYC 4) Despite knowing that he must be in NYC I can't find James on the 1910, 1920 or 1930 US Fed census (or Catherine for that matter). 5) There doesn't seemed be a SS death record. For some reason James seems to have kept a very low profile only giving information to the authorities when he had no other choice. In particular I would like to find a death record for James (and then perhaps a burial plot). I don't know if James was a church-goer but he would have been born into a Presbyterian family. I would have expected James to have died sometime after 1948 and so somewhere at the DOHMH there should be a record of it but I don't know how to apply for a record if I don't have an actual DOD. Any ideas? All help in obtaining any further information would be most gratefully received. Fiona. IGP County Down Coordinator. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nirdow2/

I need to quickly go thru a series of NYC b-m-d films for Brooklyn to check out the certs. I have the probables. Where on Long Island, Queens or Brklyn can I view them. I will just be in the area for Tues-Thurs daytimes. and at least one of those days I need to be in the Brklyn Clerk/Courts archives and the Brklyn Library. I had planned to do it at the Plainview FHC but someone there told me on the phone that I'd have to order etc. That person didn't seem very knowledgeable so I thought I'd ask you experts. Naturally my last choice would be the archives in the city. Thanks, Judy ____________________________________________________________________________________ Boardwalk for $500? In 2007? Ha!

Hi, Depends where in New York the person died....was it New York State or New York City? If New York City then you can apply for a copy through the New York City Department of Mental Health and Hygiene....cost is USD$15. VERY IMPORTANT DON'T forget to send copies of 2 photo ID's when applying or the application will be returned (like mine). No they don't accept credit card payments...I sent an international bank draft. Sent it back today with 2 photo ID's so hopefully will get it this time. Others may be able to advise you if the death occurred in New York State.... .I have found American research quite hard with no centralization of records (they are all over the place) but the people on these lists are extremely helpful.

Hi all I am new to the list and just wanted to ask if anyone knows how a friend can obtain a 1905 New York death certificate from the UK please? Where does she have to apply to and how much do they cost? Will they send to the UK and can she pay by credit card? Many thanks Carolyn

Hi List, Thanks to everyone who sent me advice. I have not had time to check out all the suggestions as cutting grass takes precedent over genealogy. I will let everyone know if or when I find my great aunt's place and time of death. Ray in Georgia

If you type in Social Security Index at google.com, and open Social Security Death Index Interactive Search and do a search for her name, you might find her. I would think she must have received Social Security payments after his death. Good luck in your search.

Hi Kate, Thanks, but I already have his obit plus a number of articles about him. It is his wife Ann or Anna's death date I really need.
