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 Bedford, New Rochelle, Eastchester 1710 Slaveholders, 1755 Freeholders, 1763 New Rochelle, 1767, 1771 Philipsburg Manor rent roll, 1776-1784 Tax list 1779 Federal Census for Westchester County, 1790-1840. Write or call them first for the form. You pay to the Archives to "Westchester County Clerk" and to the historical society to "Westchester County Historical Society" 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � This file is from The Source of Magic, Ridgefield CT � � 203-431-4687, source for genealogy, radio, & Windows � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴�
