The '''New York Public Library''' is an excellent place for research because most Jewish immigrants to the United States lived in New York for a time. The library has borough directories, census records for the greater metropolitan area, back issues of The New York Times, maps, atlases, gazetteers, community histories, yizkor books, indexes to some of the U.S. federal census returns, vital records for New York City, and ship passenger lists. | The '''[[New York Public Library]]''' is an excellent place for research because most Jewish immigrants to the United States lived in New York for a time.
