This probably does not apply to Westchester County as much as it applies to the Bronx and New York City. However, (while lurking in the shadows) I know this list have been helpful in providing information tips. Here is my situation: I need some help on my BSO. I might have broken through a very difficult wall - and I actually stumbled over the brick to find it - I think!. Wednesday night while searching on FamilySearch.org I stumbled on the following two references. I saw the document listings from my search, but thought posting the references would be better here. The clue was the bride's parent's names - which might have located my great-grandfather's oldest sister. "New York, New York City Marriage Records, 1829-1940," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24H4-74M : accessed 26 May 2016), William Jemru Haring and Mary E. Hannigan, 04 Aug 1887; citing Marriage, Manhattan, New York, New York, United States, New York City Municipal Archives, New York; FHL microfilm 1,671,683. "New York, New York City Marriage Records, 1829-1940," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2434-MJ5 : accessed 26 May 2016), William Henry Harring and Mary Ellen Hannigan, 04 Aug 1887; citing Marriage, Manhattan, New York, New York, United States, New York City Municipal Archives, New York; FHL microfilm 1,571,006. While these appear to be two records referenced, I actually believe them to be the same event on 4 August 1887. Name variations might be due to transcriptions and if two different people did the transcription of the same record, that could explain the difference. Here is the problem, I cannot locate the record in the index of the German Genealogy Group database. Nothing! Nada! Zilch! Are these references to the holdings at the NYC DORIS office? Or are they referencing something else? Why would the GGG database not include these listings if they are from those holdings? Also, the had six children born between 1887 and 1901 in the NYC area. In 1900 they were living on Brooke Avenue in the Bronx (according to the US Census). The list of the children's names is: Anna [Sep 1887] 12 {b. New York} Mary E [Oct 1889] 10 {b. New York} William J [Jan 1892] 8 {b. New York} Florence [Dec 1893] 6 {b. New York} {d. 1910 Trenton, NJ} buried at St. Raymond's Laura [May 1898] 2 {b. New York} Ida [1901] {b. New York} Here again, I am particularly interested in one person because in 1953 my father visited his great aunt Mae in Trenton NJ and he thought it was his grandfather's sister, but it was probably her daughter. With that being said, I am trying to fill out the branch on the tree and am looking for any assistance in finding the certificate number so I can order them for the appropriate repository. Thank you for any advice. John Hannigan Florida
