The National Genealogical Society has recently published a new book, “Research in Upstate New York,” by Eric G. Grundset.
It presents an overview of the region’s history and settlement patterns, along with descriptions of the geographic regions that comprise Upstate New York and how their development affects available records.
The guide highlights key repositories, including archives, libraries, historical and genealogical societies, and museums. It also identifies major record collections and research resources available to those tracing New York ancestors. Designed for both beginning and experienced researchers, it offers a practical roadmap for locating and using the records most valuable for family history research.
