Resources

 * The resources listed herein pertaining in two periods
 * Before 1898, before the consolidation
 * From 1898, onwards
 * Note: Not all records are held in a single place. The counties (now Boroughs) retain many functions including probate. For records at the counties, please visit the county boroughs, Bronx (now The Bronx), Kings (now Brooklyn), Queens, Richmond (now Staten Island) and New York (now Manhattan). See the List of Holdings web page of the NYC Municipal Archives for a listing of what records are available for some of the old towns.

Additionally, most of the Bronx belonged to Westchester County prior to 1898 so you may need to search there as well. Read the following article for further information: Before the Five-Borough City: The Old Cities, Towns and Villages That Came Together to Form "Greater New York"
