  • Some meeting handouts from our speakers and our internet research group.  
  • Videos of our Zoom meeting presentations and handouts from the presentations if they were provided by the speaker.  
  • Links to NYS vital record images.

We also offer an opportunity to have our NYS Volunteers do some limited (2-3 hrs.) research in the NYS Library/Archives for you at no charge.  There is a form you must complete that asks: 



  • what are you looking for
  • what do you know about the person/family already
  • what sources have you already utilized
  • your contact information.
