Have you tried searching for yourself on Italiangen.org? They Have the NYC
Death Index from 1891 to 1936, an d it gives you the certificate number.
You would think they would have a pretty hard time NOT finding it with the
certificate number... however, just because he lived in Manhattan does not
mean he died in the city - he could have been on vacation, he could have
been working, he could have been shopping - in New Jersey, Westchester,
Long Island or Connecticut, quite easily.
If you know what funeral home buried him - and I don't know if Calvary
has this, or if your family used the same funeral home for generations
(many did) they might be able to look in their records...
Just a thought.

> I just received a letter from the NYC Municipal Archives in response to
my request for a death certificate on my great grandfather. They said that
the records was not found. They searched Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten
Island, Queens and the Bronx. He lived in Manhatten when he died. I had
his exact date of death in 1922 from his headstone at Calvary Cemetery.
