Books of Baptisms, Marriages and Death Records
in New York State which I own
Cliff Lamere August 4, 2018, revised Aug 16
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two tables below.
A. BOOKS
1. Baptisms
2. Marriages
3. Books containing both baptisms and marriages, plus possibly a few deaths
B. PHOTOCOPIES (background of table is gray)
4. State Street Burials in early Albany
5. Baptisms, marriages and deaths from various books
Indented church names are in the same book or photocopy as the previous name that is not indented.
Many of the churches had more than one name over the time of their existence. I have not tried to include all of those names.
Baptism records below are in a blue font.
Marriage records are in a red font.
Nine churches for which date range of baptisms and marriages is not known exactly are in a purple font.
Death records are in a black font.
About 90% of the 30 books I own were published by Kinship NY and about 85% were transcribed by Arthur C.M. Kelly (marked with an asterisk *).
Superscript numbers can be found at the end of some church names if there are records of multiple churches in the book. These are primarily for me so that I know which book it is. The titles of those books are at the bottom of this webpage.
Baptism records from 41 churches are in the tables below (my books plus photocopies of parts of books).
Marriage records from 44 churches are in the tables below (my books plus photocopies of parts of books).
Death records from 15 churches and cemeteries are in the tables below.
