Westchester Co. Archives
by Joseph Barrus
Sat July 18 1992
-------------------------------
The address for the Archives is as follows:
Westchester County Archives
2199 Saw Mill Rive Road
Elmsford, N.Y. 10523
(914) 592-5593/1925/5614
Hours are 9-4 Tuesday and Wednesday
They will do a search for you for $30.00 per name that includes the
following:
Deeds, Grantor 1680-1897
Deeds, Grantee 1680-1897
Mortgages, Mortgagor 1680-1897
Wills 1777-1941
Estate Inventories 1782-1895
Naturalization Records 1808-1979
Maps Index 1766-1869
Veteran's Discharges 1920-1985
They will also search individually on an hourly basis for a fee of $20.00
hour. This would be helpful if you wish to have them search their
extensive family group sheet collection that is not available anywhere
else. I got alot of great information there. It would be worth it. For
one hours fee, if you ask them to just research there several families, I'm
sure you would gain a lot. They do have a Guide to the Collections to
assist you to identify records to search for $10.00. I believe they will
search vital records in Westchester Co. for free. Call or mail a request
for forms that you will need to fill out for the searches and buy the guide
first. I believe there is also a charge of .50 cents per page of
photocopies and $4.00 per map. With all this expense, it seems as if it
would be cheaper to fly out there yourself, but they do have alot of
information.
In addition to the Archives, There is the Westchester County Historical
Society located in the same building at
Westchester County Historical Society
2199 Saw Mill River Road
Elmsford, NY 10523
(914) 592-4323
They also charge $30.00 to search the following Census and Tax list
indexes and they also require a form. But I don't think they charge for
photocopies.
Westchester (town) and Eastchester censuses, 1673, 1675, 1683, 1698
Mamaroneck, Morrisania, and New Rochelle, 1698
Oath of Allegiance, Westchester (town), Eastchester, New Rochelle,
Mamaroneck, and Lower Yonkers, 1698

Write or call them first for the form.
