Hello listers, Can anyone tell me when NY started keeping death records? Also, with limited information (and I mean limited!) can I obtain a death cert and/or naturalization record if I only know his name, his wife's name and 2 children's names and birthdates and birthplaces. Oral history says he and his wife immigrated from Ireland but I don't know where in Ireland. That's it. Would I be able to get anywhere with that? Thanks, Patti
