Could someone who has used the NYC Birth Indexes for searching tell me if the birth names include a middle name or initial assuming there was one listed on the original birth certificate? I have looked at the NYC Birth Index for 1941-1943 at the Family History Center. Aside from being very difficult to use and read they didn't seem to be in any sequence other than alphabetical (somewhat) and I was wondering if these where copies on the actual NYC indexes or not? Thanks in advance for any help or guidance you can give. John

John- were you looking at the physical books or microfiche at a library? I remember when looking for my bname that it was done alphabetical by year and you needed to crossreference by the cert # to find the birthname. I recall seeing some with middle names but I had been given a middle name and this was not listed in the books. The year I was born '68 also listed mother's maiden name which confirmed info and assisted me in my search. PM me with any questions.
