Indexing Project: New York City Death Ledgers
The Italian Genealogical Group is doing great work again by indexing the Death Ledgers of New York City. Deaths were recorded in a list format in ledger books until about the year 1866, when death certificates were issued. The entries in the index will not be linked to an image. You can order a copy of the ledger page from the New York City Municipal Archives. This will be a great finding aid, but remember to use any online index to locate the original record.
