NY State Vital Records Index
This index covers births, deaths, and marriages in NY State. Deaths and marriages are indexed from 1881 to 1956, births through 1931, excluding New York City and Buffalo. The index includes the person’s name, date and place of the event. This is a great tool for tracking down original vital records.
Obituaries
LHG has a multi-volumed index to local obituaries from Syracuse newspapers beginning c. 1860 through 1996. The obituaries are in volumes located in the reference area and may be requested at the Information Desk. For obituaries after 1996, or for those not found in the index, please consult a librarian. OCPL also has access to the Syracuse Newspapers in electronic format; this resource is often helpful in finding newspaper obituaries.
