DESCRIPTION
During the early westward migration in the United States, many
families lived in rural northern and western New York State.
Some stayed for generations; others settled only briefly and then moved
further west. Our experience has been that many searching for
family history will have kinfolk that were in this area sometime from
the mid-1700's to the late 1800's. The difficulty of family research in
this area is that civil records were not kept until the 1880's - long
after the state had been well established.
NewYorkAncestry focuses on this challenge by searching
for alternate sources of information such as county and town histories,
church and school records; personal journals and other hard-to-find
records. We have indexed (or acquired indexes) of these
hard-to-find sources and compiled them into a current database of nearly
300,000 names and 125 publications.
The purpose of the NAME SEARCH
REPORT is to provide you, the researcher, with the
Title, Description, Content and Availability of
each of the publications your name of interest appears in as well as the
page numbers in those works. By Availability, we mean
where to look: libraries, societies, rare book sellers; the LDS Family
History Library's film number and/or if it's a free look-up at Rootsweb.
If you seek to know more about the lives of your
ancestors, we invite you to expand your knowledge of their history by
utilizing our NAME SEARCH REPORT.
Reports are sent within 48 (business) hours or less and only via email.
