These tips will help you as you research your ancestors in New York:<br>
<br>
*'''Birth information:''' New York State briefly kept birth records from 1847 to about 1850 and started recording births again in 1881. A helpful substitute record to find birth information is a death record. However, date and place of birth on a death record is considered secondary information, as it was not recorded at the time of the birth event. The birth information should be corroborated with other [[Substitute Records For United States Birth Information|substitute records]] to improve accuracy.
