John C. Siggins' Death Certificate

Well, I ordered all these death certificates (and a marriage certificate) in a group, so they are arriving in a little flurry from the NYC archives. Today, I received John C. Siggins' Death Certificate. John C. Siggins is Sam and Gabby's great-great-great Grandfather. Once again, a lot of new information that I didn't know:

• He died on 6 September 1913 at St. Mary's Hospital in Brooklyn, NY.


• He was buried at Holy Cross Cemetery on 9 September 1913. (By the way, I googled Holy Cross Cemetery -- seems to be the main Catholic cemetery in Brooklyn. According to the description at internment.com, there are over 725,000 people buried there.)


• Most importantly, it lists his mother and father: John Siggins and Mary Code. These are Sam and Gabby's 4Great Grandparents and, until today, I did not know their names. (Because this is a death certificate, this is not rock solid info, but it is enough to go on to start researching the next generation.)
