Hello listers, I just received a letter from the Niagara County Clerk's Office as to the records they have available. (I had sent them a long list of names after seeing on the Internet that the records were from 1880/1881.) My notes are in brackets [ ], okay! *Our records do not include any birth or death certificates. You must write to the city or town in which the birth or death took place. [two of the towns I'm interested in, Newfane and Middleport don't have these records] *Our marriage records start at 1908 and go up to 1935. Before or after that, you must write to the city or town in which the marriage license was issued. [guess it's tough if you don't know where the license was issued.] *If you are not sure of the city or town in which the birth or death took place, you may write to: Bureau of Vital Records State Department of Health P.O. Box 2602 Albany, NY 12220-2602 [I've been told by others that going through this office takes a long, long time, but do you have any other options? Plus they have a long list of rules and regulations.] Hope this helps others with their Niagara research.
