Are these recently released LDS links to NYC's BMD Collections the result of the latest NYC joint IGG and GGG Transcription Projects? Or, did LDS coordinate with IGG/GGG so that we'll have cert #s released soon? I just spent way too many hours scouring pre-1864 Manhattan Birth Indexes in person...deteriorating, smudgy, string laden, handwritten microfilms...at NYC Municipal Archives. Results: l) There were more Irish births reported than I expected; 2) 1/3 of the microfilm readers don't work at all. The remaining ones don't have adequate backlighting to view whole certificate pages. Since Muni Arch is making a larger profit now, while their staff is overloaded with mail, email and in-person orders, it would be great if the equipment was fully functional, and they enforced the no cell phone policy.

However, eachrecord gives the FHL filmnumber that has the cert which you can both seeand printout.-- Pat Connors, SacramentoCA
