When you looked at those films, did you at least find the page (41) and
adjacent number Libers, like 119, 122, 123, 118? If not, then perhaps
the films are mis-numbered, or their LDS Index number is incorrect....
You can always send those numbers in to Manhattan Surrogate's Court
Records, and have them do a search, but be prepared for a big bill, on
the order of $75.00 or so........

Good Luck,
Jim G.
