Death Records Now

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.

Strange question I know, but I think a friend of mine may have passed away and I have no way of finding out. I’ve been desperately searching for public death records but I can’t seem to find any. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try people search .com etc There are loads of sites that should be able to help you.
