Hi Everyone. Does anyone know if NARA'S indexes for vital records for NYS and the five boroughs has records for 1930s? I decided to send for my uncle's birth certificate (knowing his date of birth) to the Town of Hempstead, guessing that he was born in West Hempstead like my mother (since they were only 3 yrs apart) and I just got a response saying they have no record for him (another $22 gone). Prior to this I contacted the Village of Hempstead because there is a very nice lady there who will at least tell you whether they have the record before you send the fee (that is if you know the date) and I had no luck there either. The clerk at the T of H said I should send to Albany. They would have the records for NYS and he five boroughs. Before I spend another $22+ and wait several months, I thought I should check the indexes first, so does anyone know if NARA would have birth indexes for 1933? If so, does anyone do any searches at NARA?
