2,625,058 10,000 VITAL RECORDS OF WESTERN NY, 1809-1850.
By Fred Q. Bowman. 338 pp.,index. 1985. Hard cover.
Pub. Genealogical Pub. Co. Out of Print.
The 10,000 vital records in this work were drawn from the marriage
and death columns of five western New York newspapers published
before 1850: the Republican Advocate of Batavia, the Steuben
Farmers Advocate of Bath, the Geneva Gazette, the Jamestown
Journal, and Palmyra's Wayne Sentinel. Birth announcements
were not published in these early newspapers, but many of the
marriage and death notices mentioned birth years, birthplaces,
and parents' names, and where appropriate such data has been
copied off and recorded here.
All persons who were subjects of death notices are listed in
alphabetical order, marriage officials are identified in the appendix,
and all others mentioned in the text are listed in the index. Towns
of residence are by no means confined to western New York, for
communities in the rest of the state as well as New England and
the Midwest are frequently identified.
The bulk of the work, however, concerns itself with the marriages
and deaths of residents of western New York, and in the absence
of "official" vital records of the area it stands as an admirable
substitute. Like official records of a later date, the records of
marriage and death abstracted here furnish names, ages, dates,
places of residence, and frequent references to family members,
and a good deal of other information besides. No other work available
covers the genealogical records of western New York so
comprehensively, nor indeed does any other work hold out so
much promise. Publisher's Review.
Used, worn, marks, however, data is still there.
