Items in RED have been verified against parish register entries. New York birth/marriage/death items in RED have come from newspaper obituaries, some marriage announcements, and occasional birth announcements. In a few obituaries, the birth/marriage year given may not match up to census notations/childrens' births, so I have adjusted those accordingly.
