New York

New York's genealogical records span Dutch colonial origins, British colonial administration, the Revolutionary War era, and the great waves of 19th and 20th century immigration. Heritage Books carries titles covering New York City's five boroughs, as well as upstate counties, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley. The collection includes church records, probate abstracts, military records, naturalization indexes, and family genealogies. New York's role as the primary port of entry for millions of immigrants makes it an essential research territory even for families who ultimately settled elsewhere.
