Genealogy Records & Resources

Vital records registration started in New York State outside of New York City in 1881. Generally, the New York State Department of Health Genealogy Records & Resources provides uncertified copies of the following types of records for genealogy research purposes. 

Birth Certificates: Record on file for at least 75 years (and individual whose name is on the birth certificate is known to be deceased).

Death Certificates: Record on file for at least 50 years.

Marriage Certificates: Record on file for at least 50 years (and both spouses are known to be deceased).

Copies of records on file in the Town of Huntington can also be requested directly through the Town Clerk Andrew Raia’s office. If you have further questions please contact his office at (631) 351-3206.
