Essex County, NY

Is there a website where one can search 1948 death certificates for Essex County, NY?

You need to get the certificate number from the NYS death index for 1948. That is available on various websites.

Then you need to contact the registrar of vital statistics for the town in question or the New York State Deptment of Health in Albany NY. I’m reading that the latter could take 8 months or more.

Hope you find the person for whom you’re searching. Sometimes names are misspelled in the indices.
