You can quickly research and filter the Genealogical Research Death Index data starting in 1957 with these easy to use, interactive search and visualization cards. Just follow the tips by clicking on the below "Show More" arrow. The data is refreshed on a quarterly basis.

Quick tips: First, use the search cards to explore the data. As you enter your requested information, a sample of available data is displayed to help your search.

Next, you can hover over the graphs, to further filter the data. For example, on the "Date of Death" timeline or the "Decedent Age" graphs you are able to select a time frame and/or age range by hovering over the desired dates/ages. If you just want to search a particular year, click on the year in the "Year of Death" card. The table will change with each search and filter that you apply. There is also a description of what you are filtering above the cards.

Click the "Clear All" button above the cards on the left hand side to remove all filter(s).

Important reminders:  The Genealogical Research Death Index contains a variety of genealogy
criteria on decedents, date of death, gender, age at death and NYS file number
that will allow the public to search for individuals who
died at least 50 years ago  in New York State, outside of New York City.  For more information, check out http://www.health.ny.gov/vital_records/genealogy.
