The NYG&B Family Bible Records is a collection featuring the genealogical information recorded in three family bibles donated to the NYG&B.  

Genealogical Data from Inventories of New York Estates, 1666-1825, Kenneth Scott and James A. Owre. (1970), contains 1,080 abstracts of  inventories of New York estates from the 17th to the early 19th century.

Voices of the Irish Immigrant: Information Wanted Ads inThe Truth Teller, New York City 1825-1844 was compiled by Diane Fitzpatrick Haberstroh, MLS, and Laura Murphy DeGrazia, CG.

Many of the buildings, parks and roads that we use in our local communities today are there thanks to the Works Progress Administration, one of the most successful relief agencies from the New Deal.

Religious records are among the most important categories of records for the family history researcher, especially those researching in New York State. 

Last week we added a useful and fascinating resource to our eLibrary - a compilation of 19th-century shipwrecks and their passengers by Frank A. Biebel.
