I have some mid-late 1800s New York relatives and then more in the early 1900s. This newly free index is because the non-profit Reclaim the Records worked hard, filed a Freedom of Information lawsuit, kept working, and now we all have it! Want to know more and maybe look for some entries in it? https://www.newyorkdeathindex.com . Be sure to check out all the options under Advanced Search. WOW. Appreciate all the work of many of our genealogy colleagues in this effort? Click on the donate tab in the upper right corner of that death index page
