So adding spouse's name, if there is one and name is known, is essential.<br /><br />Thanks again for bringing this index to researchers' attention...Michael Marshall https://www.blogger.com/profile/11630172571231508804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445639686053980930.post-18073620974897777832015-04-13T10:10:58.446-07:002015-04-13T10:10:58.446-07:00Great!

Excellent point about checking all indices.Jennyhttp://www.jennifersbrown.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445639686053980930.post-55033669470550187472015-04-11T16:08:42.563-07:002015-04-11T16:08:42.563-07:00I agree.

As I noted, however, if I had just relied on this index for much of my Liebross family I would not have found some of their in the FHL indices. I'm glad I used the ItalianGen indices, as well.Emily Garberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728999439188446783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445639686053980930.post-91880792680495747012015-04-11T16:02:56.036-07:002015-04-11T16:02:56.036-07:00I ran to family search's nyc death index midw...I ran to family search's nyc death index midway through reading this post and re-ran all the people who died in that period who are involved in my penicillin book and some "indexes" were so detailed I see nothing further could come waiting 2 months & $15 for a death certificate.<br /><br />For example : two year old "Penicillin Baby" Patricia Malone was for two months in 1943 probably the best known baby in the world . But her death in dec 1943 went unnoticed by the press that had so pumped her miraculous recovery a few months earlier. Family Search's death data is a gold mine as you can see - hard to call that an index - it more a complete transcription !<br /><br />Michael Marshall https://www.blogger.com/profile/11630172571231508804noreply@blogger.com
