If a person died in Yonkers between 1902 and 1916, would there be an official death record or death certificate?  And if so, where should I look for said records?  Regards,  Paul G. Sabol  Get Paul to Slovakia GoFundMe Campaignhttp://www.gofundme.com/icw3uk

Hi Paul, Official BMD certificates, as opposed to one-line entries in ledgers, began in New York STATE in 1881. [This excludes NY CITY.] In that time period, for Yonkers, it would be a certificate. You might phone ahead to the Yonkers City Clerk's office to find out what's required. With death certificates more than 50 years old, you should NOT need to provide relationship documentation. That's considered "historical."
