Hello,
Welcome to the Steuben County portion of the NYGenWeb.
My name is Martha and I will be your new County Coordinator
I do not live in New York - I am on the Central Coast of California
But, that said, I am an excellant online researcher and might be able to point
you in the direction of 'out of the box' resources.
I can be reached via email: Martha

Vital Records for the Individual NY Counties can be found in the FS Collections that are labeled 'County' They are not broken down by specific County, so a generic search will bring better results. Vital Records for Neighboring Counties are a challenge to find, but FS has a section in their System entitled "Historical Images" - These are films that have not been indexed, but are available for viewing and in most cases, downloadable.
