My greatgrandmother Sarah Jane Tompkins was born 19 July 1847 in Tarrytown, Greenburgh, Westchester, Co. NY Several years ago on a fluke, I called the Town Clerk for Greenburgh Township and she found the birth recorded. I later visited and had my picture taken holding the book. > Subject: [NYWESTCH] Birth Records > > > I am trying to locate birth records for ancestors who lived in > Irvington in > the late 1880s and early 1890s.
