Birth and marriage dates must have been at least 50 years before the search date and the parties involved (i.e. the person born or the bride and groom) must be deceased. Of course, if you are the person involved and need a birth or marriage certificate, that is a different story, or a next of kin or estate attorney can obtain a death certificate for a more recent happening. Even then, NYS does not make these records available on line.
