New York Research Tips[edit | edit source]
These tips will help you as you research your ancestors in New York.
- Birth information: New York State briefly kept birth records from 1847 to about 1850 and started recording births again in 1881. The best substitute record for locating birth information is death records (the majority of death records will list the date of birth of the decedent, and since death certificates are considered a primary resource, they can provide you with the same documentation as a birth certificate). Or, try these other substitute records.
- Finding Parents: New York State briefly kept death records from 1847 to about 1850 and started recording deaths again in June 1880. They often will list the parents of the deceased and their birth information. Search New York death records
- Look in all censuses: Always look for your ancestor in every possible census. There are clues regarding immigration, naturalization, and occupation that can lead to other records. Sometimes parents can be found living with their children later in life. Search U.S. Censuses.
