How would I go about ordering a death certificate from then? All of them died in New York if that helps you answer my question…
This web site has info about ordering New York State death certificates:

For NYC death certificares:

An analysis of state-wide records by the Poughkeepsie Journal reveals that 77,000 dead people remain on election rolls in New York State, and some 2,600 may have managed to vote after they had died. The study also found that Democrats are more successful at voting after death than Republicans, by a margin of four-to-one, largely because so many dead people seem to vote in Democrat-dominated New York City.

that is the easiest way.
I ordered my parents’ marriage records, but my order cannot be processed unless I provide a New York State order. My parents are deceased, I don’t believe I have such records.– does this apply to me? What do I do? Can I send their certified death certificates?
This should be public record. You can do a "people search" or hire a PI. It costs between $10 and $30. There should be no documents required.
All birth and death records originating from the five boroughs of New York City (Bronx, Kings, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island) must be certified together with a Letter of Exemplification by the New York City Department of Health, http://www.ci.nyc.ny.us/html/doh/home.html Bureau of Vital Records, 125 Worth Street, New York, NY 10013. The original document must then be presented to the County Clerk’s Office in the county where the document was obtained to verify the signature on the Letter of Exemplification. The document can then be presented to the New York State Department of State for authentication.
I’m sure you can hire an atty or title company to do it; and often times it can be done by mail; but call the clerk’s office you’ll be filing at to make sure of the details (SASE< attention of who, time frames, fees if any)
Looking for parents of :
James Francis Johnson..dob March 1871 in Buffalo,New York.
father :James Johnson born in Ireland.
mother of Irish decent: Margaret Hassen ( this is on his death certificate) born in New York. I do not have a birth date for either. This is a clasic brickwall.Any help would be so welcomed. Thank you.
Have you tried to secure his birth record. That will give you more definite information on the dates and location for his parent’s marriage.
According to the New York state archives http://www.archives.nysed.gov/a/research/res_topics_gen_vitalstats.shtml "The indexes do not include births and deaths in Albany, Buffalo, and Yonkers prior to 1914, or marriages in those cities prior to 1908. (Contact the local registrar of vital statistics in those cities for information about earlier records.)"
So my best guess is to start with the registrar Buffalo about your ancestor’s records. They were likely married in the area as well so you should check about the marriage records at the same time.
Are you sure that Hassen is his mother’s maiden name and not a 2nd marriage after becoming a widow?
I was wondering if I had a case or lawsuit against new york state or the parole board for the death of my father. Approximately two years ago, someone attacked my father and the trauma to his head resulted in his death. This person was on parole and had killed three people prior to my father and I was shock to know that someone with such a record was out in society. He should have not been out of jail. Do you think I have a case for having this guy out on parole?against the the state or the parole board for the death of my father. please help
Sorry about your father.
You have no chance of winning such a case.
You could sue the person who attacked your father, but my guess is he would be "judgment proof." (he doesn’t have any money)
I am in charge of research and testing for an online consumer website (www.CompleteReviews.net). I have spent the last three months testing public record sites. At first I wondered why anyone would want to pay to access "public" records. Well, that is because of how hard it can be to get to them.
For marriage or death records, I would assume you would start with the county where the marriage or death was recorded. In most states, that responsibility falls under county government. You could start by searching the counties website (assuming they have one). The more modern ones are putting their records online. If that does not pan out, then you can contact the county records department and see what procedure they require. Usually you have to fill out request forms and in many cases there is a small processing fee (5-10 bucks).
Another option is to actually utilize a marriage or death record search site. These companies create massive databases of public information (up to 3-4 billion records) and store it in a single location so that you can easily search for the records you need. They even pay to access some records that, while public, are not accessible like cell phone records or unlisted phone numbers. If you want to go that route, the only sites I can recommend are the ones that passed our testing requirements. You can find them at http://www.completereviews.net under the categories of Marriage Records or Public Records. The cost is somewhere between $15 and $25 but it saves you a bunch of time and you get instant results.
Happy hunting!
