Thought I'd pass this along.

Subject: [DEKENT] New Genealogy Info -- a new service available!
Hi lists,
I just received a copy of a death certificate, today,
from:
New York Department of Records & Information Services
Office of the Commissioner
31 Chambers Street, Suite 305
New York, NY
I also received a letter, with it, stating they have photographic
records of every house & building from circa 1939-1941 in New York
City. They go on to say, this would be a very unique gift for any
one interested in genealogy - family history. If you have the exact
street address and/or block & lot number for the building you will
be able to order a photo.
$25.00 for 8" x 10"
$35.00 for 11" x 14"
plus postage
(high-quality black & white prints)
I think this is really great that you can obtain a photo of the family
home or business. If NYC is doing this you may want to look for other
cities & towns across the US, who may have the same service available. :)
To those of you who are interested in New York City & this service:
Phone: (212) 788-8580

Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)
