New York State Marriage Index - 1910 (Brides)

New York State Marriage Index - 1910 (Brides)

Author: Reclaim The Records

Year: 1910

These are scanned images of the index to marriages that occurred in the state of New York, originally compiled by the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH). This information was obtained through a New York State Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request filed by the non-profit organization Reclaim The Records against the NYS DOH in September 2017. Marriage index data was requested from 1881 through December 21, 2016, but the NYS DOH only delivered data up through December 31, 1965. The missing 1966-2016 portion of the New York State marriage index is currently the subject of an ongoing Freedom of Information lawsuit, filed by Reclaim The Records against the NYS DOH in the Supreme Court of New York, Albany county, in the summer of 2018. This publication is the first time that this information has been made freely available to the general public in digital form on the Internet. Previously, this marriage index information was only available as individual microfiche sheets, which were often faded and scratched and quite hard to read, and they were only available at a small number of New York public libraries, as well as the New York City branch of the National Archives (NARA).
