Death Certificates for Emigrants from Lyakhovichi

The following table will be entirely constructed by our readers. If you have in your possession a death certificate for a person born in Lyakhovichi, we would like to extract relevant information and post it here. We would also like to consider posting an image of the certificate itself, if both you and the webmaster agree to do so. Here is what the form the table will use when we substitute real names for the place holders, (understanding that the table will be much less compressed as names fill the table cells). The information in each table will be from the death certificate, so your great-grandmother's oldest son might be the informant, not you. Sometimes the information an informant supplies is wrong, but with enough data, even mistakes are interesting!

Lyakhovichi Emigrants - Death Certificates as Documentation for Lyakhovichi History
by Deborah G. Glassman,
copyright 2007

Death Certificates are such an individual-centered record that a resource for community history, such as this Lyakhovichi website, has to make a case for seeking them out. Why should you look for them for family members other than your direct ancestors? Why should we invest the time and space resources of this website on your findings? Why should we do large-scale searches to add them to the databases created on this site?

I began seeking those answers in the aggregated listing of around 600 burials in Lechovicher plots in New York city. As I created a list of information gathered from the death certificate index created by the hard-working volunteers of the Italian Genealogy group of New York City in partnership with other societies trying to create full access to NYC records, (find the index at New York City Death Index) it rapidly became apparent that this was a tool too long neglected.

The index alone gave a new perspective on the early settlement of Lechovitchers in the New York area. How many of these burials, between the 1880s and the 1920s, were children? I could not tell by looking at names on a cemetery register but now we know the specific ages of all children and the claimed ages of all adults who were buried in Lechovitecher plots (less the few percent that could not be found in the indices). It shows us that before the 1920s the majority of burials were children ranging in age from hours through their tenth year. How fixed were our surnames at this time? Creative investigation allowed us to find a number of those recorded in the burial lists that had their official record of death in NYC under variant spellings, different surnames, and "translated" first names. How religiously observant was the community? Using the single datum in these records that might be relevant, speed of burial after death, we might make judgements from the fact that, almost without exception, burials were on the day of or the day after death from the 1880s through the 1920s. Further investigation would show if the exceptions fell on holidays where burial was not possible. Remember the distortion that is inherent in the fact that all of these people purchased burial plots from a landsmanschaft organization with strong ties to the custom and culture of Lyakhovichi: this is not yet a list of all of those who came from Lyakhovichi to the US.How accurate were the ages reported for adults? There is a strong divergence in the reported ages of adults on their death certificates from the ages given to the cemetery company or reported on tombstones. The age on the official government record is almost invariably younger than that given the private quasi-religious organization. This may reflect that ages that were reduced to gain entry to the United States and fear of legal consequence may have impeded honest communication subsequently. How is an index of death certificates different from a death certificate and is there additional value in seeking out the actual certificate? The index tells us who died, on what date and at what reported age. It tells us the county in which the death certificate was filed and gives the certificate number of the death certificate so that we can examine the original record filed in that county. It gives the spelling of the surname and first name as the informant gave it. The actual death certificate after a certain time period may tell us a great deal more. The names of the deceased's parents, the date and place of birth, the cause of death, the name of the informant, address of the deceased, burial place, et al. All of this information, with exception of cause of death given by a physician, will have been provided by an informant whose knowledge ranks up and down the scale. But even allowing for mistakes and missing information, collecting this valuable data on more than a thousand people born in Lyakhovichi, can't help but inform us.

If we learned the parents' first names of every adult who emigrated from Lyakhovichi; if we knew the maiden names of all women who emigrated from Lyakhovichi; if we could uncover the maiden names of the mothers of all those who emigrated from Lyakhovichi - we would have a tool for investigating family relationships in Lyakhovichi like no other.

The Information we will provide right now and what we want from you The list below is a chronological ordering of those buried in Lechovitcher plots in NYC, so far collected. Covering the period of 1893 to 1933, we have listed each deceased and the information included for them in the death index. We do not yet have a single death certificate for anyone on this list and we would like you to share those that you have collected for your family members. This page also coincides with the searches for Obituaries that we are doing (see Lyakhovichi Emigrants - Obituaries and Remembrances as Documentation for Lyakhovichi History )

Benefits:
1.    We can create a new resource of names of Lyakhovichi emigrants, their residences at death, their personal vital information, the names of their parents, and the names of a surviving informant.
2.    We can create a collection large enough to provide new insights from the data sampled.
3.    We can learn about relationships among Lyakhovichi families using the data provided on spouse's maiden name, mother's maiden name, parents' first names, informant's name and relationship.
4.    We can learn about the young children of the emigrant generation who died too early to leave many records
5.    We can identify siblings of adult emigrants whose family information can take us down new paths.
6.    By not limiting the death certificates to those who settled in NYC, but including those in Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, et al, we can create the beginnings of a very inclusive picture of the emigrant generation and their parents and siblings who never came to the United States.
7.     By not limiting the death certificates to those who settled in the United States, but including those who settled in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Cuba, Canada, et al, we can tie together those families who might be entering their twelfth decade of separation.

Process:
1.    Each person who is researching ancestors who lived in Lyakhovichi, goes back through their collected notes and sends us a copy of any death certificate located in the search for a person who emigrated from Lyakhovichi. We want the information for the entire emigrating generation, those born in Lyakhovichi who died somewhere else.
2.    The webmaster will begin extracting the information for entry to a database and where the information is not an infringement on privacy of living people, post older death certificates as deemed appropriate. The webmaster will err on the side of overprotectiveness for the reputation of the deceased and the comfort of their family.
3.    You expand the breadth of your coverage to include searches in your local jurisdictions for the aunts, uncles, cousins, of your Lyakhovichi ancestor, who are also likely to have been from Lyakhovichi. You enrich your own family history with the kinds of documents that create visual and informational substance for your family record and you share your findings with us so that we can network the information more effectively. Your finding of a grandmother's maiden name will undoubtedly produce many more leads for you, but someone else's discovery of their grandfather's sister may generate equally good results. This is the kind of project for which collaborative research was designed.
