============================================================
NEW YORK STATE ARCHIVES DISCONTINUES MAIL-IN VITAL RECORDS INDEX
SEARCH REQUESTS
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
============================================================
The New York State Archives and Records Administration will be
discontinuing its service of answering mail-in requests for
searches of its vital records index. Citing "loss of the staff
who performed the searches" as the reason for the cutback,
effective February 15, 2000, researchers
will have to visit the State Archives or the National Archives
regional branch in New York City to view the indexes. Only
requests that are postmarked through the 15th will be accepted,
and all other requests will be returned.

For more information see the official announcement on the State
Archives page at:
