Most county and district court records are at local courthouses. Surrogate's court records are kept in separate offices. The New York State Archives has many pre-1847 supreme court and chancery court records, described in New York State Archives, ''List of Pre-1847 Court Records in the State Archives'' (Albany, New York: Office of Cultural Education, 1984.) {{WorldCat|13687937|disp=At various libraries (WorldCat)}};{{FSC|364569|item|disp= FS Library Book 974.7 A1 no. 316}}. These records are now being microfilmed by the archives. For recent court records, contact the clerk of the specific court of interest. <br> | Most county and district court records are at local courthouses.

“Lis pendens” is a recorded notice that title to property, both real and personal, is subject to litigation and serves as a warning to a prospective buyer. This type of court record exists in most states after 1800, but the FS Library collection for New York State catalogs it separately. For further information on lis pendens in general, see Kip Sperry, “Lis Pendens as a U.S. Genealogical Source,” Genealogical Journal, 2(June 1973):51-53. {{WorldCat|2250993|disp=At various libraries (WorldCat)}}; {{FSC|244938|item|disp=FS Library Book 973 D25gj}}.
