/_Circa 1860, New York City included only New York County, and thus, this would have to be
on Manhattan Island, which then and now is in New York County.
(There was no Borough of Manhattan until 1898).

_/
Due to the statement above made in a prior email, the birth listed below
would had taken place on Manhatten Island, New York, New York??

15 Aug 1874 Manhattan, New York, New York


and if the birth had taken place on Manhatten Island
the why would the index from FHL have it listed as
Manhattan instead of Manhatten Island???

just curious is all

take care
Leslie
