New York Genealogy Resources
New York has an epic history. Henry Hudson famously explored the river surrounding this area and claimed it for the Dutch in 1609 calling it New Netherland. Not long after, a battle for land and colonial power ensued between these New Netherland residents and New Englanders on Long Island. Then in 1664, the English seized the Dutch colony and renamed it for the Duke of York. New York was admitted to statehood in 1788, but later--in the 1800s and 1900s--New York became America's busiest port of entry as it welcomed millions of immigrants seeking freedom and opportunity. Statewide birth, marriage, and death registrations began in1880, but don't overlook this state's other key genealogical resources including its extensive collection of immigration and naturalization, records. Whether your ancestors were among the early settlers, or the "huddled masses" arriving during the periods of mass migration, you'll find an abundance of historical documents to put you in an "Empire State of Mind" for your family history pursuits.
