Julie Van Wyngaarden & Suffolk-Rootsers, etc.,


On 04/29/2000 (2:26:54 AM EDT), Julie Van Wyngaarden () asks,


"Could someone please help me. I have been surfing the web
to find the address where I could order two death certificates
one for the death in 1888 and the other about 1900 in West
Sayville, Suffolk Co., (Long Island) NY."

West Sayville is a hamlet (unincorporated area) in the Town of Islip, Suffolk
County.

The collection of Vital Records in New York State begin in 1881, and are
required to be kept by the city or town, as the case may be, in which the
event (birth, death, marriage) occurred and by the state (Albany).

Some of the larger villages do maintain these records, but not all villages
do as they may voluntarily waive their right to do so and make it a
responsibility of the town(s) in which the village is (are) in. If the place
where the event occurred is in a village, the Town Clerk will tell you if the
village or the town maintains the record.

Currently, there are 10 towns in Suffolk County:

Huntington
Babylon
Smithtown
Islip
Brookhaven
Riverhead
Southold
Southampton
Shelter Island
East Hampton

(There are 2 cities and 3 towns in Nassau County.)

In this regard, please remember that it is very important to know in which
city or town the event took place and the city or town could be different
from the city or town where the individual may have resided.


As I wrote, West Sayville is a hamlet in the Town of Islip, Suffolk County.
There are 4 villages (incorporated areas) and 23 hamlets (unincorporated
areas) all or partly within the Town of Islip.

Here's the contact information for the Town Clerk of the Town of Islip:

Sincerely,
