Beautiful building, fascinating place to find info on ones ancestors who may have lived in NY. Keep in mind, no place to charge phones, bathrooms on 3rd floor but very cool old fashioned ones (worth the trip). The archives good but they need new microfilm machines. Many so old & rickety. Some staff very helpful, others not so.

Good morning to all. I am trying to obtain an 1888 death certificate from Richmond County Staten Island New York. Any suggestions on how to obtain a copy of this? I have a date and certificate number.

Go to Richmond county record room. Speak with the clerk. Or better yet call them first: 7186757700 They'll tell you if they have a death from 1888 there and then you can go.

how can I get a death cert from the 1930's and 1940's

Una Doyle | Oct 21, 2018
Adam Kanciper | Oct 21, 2018

Provided the death occurred in the City of New York, yes. You can either go to the Archives and purchase the death certificate, order it from the archives by mail or online (I think that it will take 2 -3 months to receive it this way), or you can email info@ancestorsandcousins and arrange to have it within the week.

I need the job as archivist. I have so education and experience. May I contact with you?

Adam Kanciper | Oct 21, 2018

The answer to your question depends on when and where are you married. If you married in New York City prior to 1950, then yes. If in New York City after 1949, then the City Clerk's Office is where you need to go.
