New York County Histories
Do you need to look in a County History but do not have the right resources
near you? I can look in the county histories for a specified county at
the New York State Library. For $25 per hour I will search the county histories
in your ancestor's county. I will need the following information, cut and
paste it into an e-mail:
-
Name:
-
Birth date and place:
-
Race:
-
Gender:
-
The county to be searched:
-
Town of residence:
-
Maximum allowable search time (eg. 1/2, 1, or 2 hours):
-
Your name and postal address:
I suggest only having the county histories searched if your ancestor was
a very early settler in an area or if they were some very prominent members
of the community. Many people were living in the bigger cities and so finding
someone in a small town is also much easier. If you do not have the required
information, I suggest doing a census search for your family. This should
give you the information that I would need to do a county history search.
If I cannot find the family, you will at least receive photocopies about
the town that your family lived in. If I do find your family, I will send
the town information with the specific information on your ancestors. To
place your order e-mail me at [email protected]
