Birth and Death records in NYC?

April 25th, 2011 1 comment

I am looking for a 1885-6 New York birth record for Joseph M Boyle. Michael J and Margaret Boyle,(his parents) were both born in Ireland. Also, possibly a death record, sometime after 1911 and before 1930 for Joseph M Boyle. His wife was named Mable Hurley and he had a daughter,Dorothy(1908),and a son,Joseph T (1911)Any help will be appreciated immensly.
Thanks!

Go to stevemorse.org and look in the Births, deaths….. folder. There are a number of NYC indexes there for birth and deaths. Read the FAQ. You should be able to narrow the time span for those events and get the certificate numbers and who to get them from.

New York City Death Index
1891 to 1897 Manhattan
1862 to 1897 Manhattan and Brooklyn
1898 to 1948 All Boroughs
If you have ever tried to use the New York City death index for the early years, you will appreciate this latest database. If you look at the microfilm for these early years you know that you have to look at every month, every year and every borough.

Now the volunteers of the Genealogy Federation of Long Island have put these records in a very searchable database that will enable you to search with just a push of the button. Phase 1 of this effort covered the period 1891 – 1907. The second phase added the years 1908 through 1936 and will eventually include the indexes up to 1948. http://www.italiangen.org/NYCDeath.stm
