I believe Buffalo has them too. Before the other libraries bought copies I used them in the State Library in Albany. Someone might weigh in from Albany as to exactly where they can be used in Albany now. She is also correct in that NY State did not require record keeping until 1880/81 and the early compliance was not 100%. in the first few years Margaret Scheffler ----- Original Message ----- From: "FLORENCE SECOR" To: Sent: Friday, January 13, 2006 8:04 AM Subject: [ROOTS-L] New York State Vital Records >I am a New York State native from Jefferson Co.
