Patricia, New York State required recording of births, marriages, and deaths as of 1880. However, in requesting a copy of a certificate you do need to know where the event took place. Town, Village, and City clerks have the records. -Florence- -----Original Message----- From: R Forte SR <fortesr@mnw.net> To: NYJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com <NYJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, April 21, 2000 7:31 AM Subject: Re: Information >Hello All, >Could someone please tell me when they started to keep Birth and Marriage records in New York. >Thank You Patricia > > >============================== >Free Web space.
