The city of Yonkers managed its own vital records, including death records, prior to 1915. Most of these pre-1915 records were not shared with the New York State Department of Health, and so they are usually not included in the official state death index. The statistics and data shown on this page therefore do not include most Yonkers city deaths from 1880-1914.

To obtain copies of pre-1915 death records for Yonkers, you will need to contact the Yonkers city clerk's office, not the state Department of Health.
