John Mansell was a baseball player who was born in Auburn, NY in 1859 and died in Romulus, NY in 1925. Would there be town records of births in Auburn in 1859? Would the library/town hall there have such records? Maggie Denver, CO
Maggie - records were not required to be kept by the state until 1880. You would be hit and miss in 1859. You might want to contact the office ot the Cayuga County Historian in Auburn and see what they have to say.
