The New York State Vital Records Index includes Births from 1881-1935, Marriages from 1881-1960, Deaths from 1880-1963. These indexes are for New York State and outside of New York City including portions of Westchester County before 1895, Staten Island and Queens before 1898. This also includes Brooklyn Vital Records prior to 1897 when Brooklyn then became part of New York City. The indexes excluded are births and deaths in Albany, Buffalo and Yonkers prior to 1914 or marriages in those cities prior to 1908. The birth and death indexes do include data on individuals who were born or died in a state facility such as a prison or mental hospital.
I would be happy to check for births and deaths prior to 1914 and marriages prior to 1908 in Albany, Buffalo and Yonkers to confirm that 1.) they are not listed on the index and 2.) the event did not take place outside of Albany, Buffalo and Yonkers.

I asked Elaine for another request and again, she didn't disappoint. She scoured all of her resources to find what I was looking for and although it couldn't be found, I will always seek her out with a future request without hesitation.
I have requested information from Elaine on several occasions and I can say without a doubt, she is absolutely the most dedicated volunteer I have worked with. Elaine goes above and beyond to not only find the information you need, but will attach any other information she comes across during the search. You will be very pleased if you need anything from the area in which she volunteers.
Elaine is very knowledgeable and helpful. She thinks broadly, digs deep for evidence, all that as truly a random act of kindness. Thanks Elaine!
Elaine was super responsive, informative and very eager to help. Highly recommend her!
Although I requested information outside of her area Elaine was very helpful and provided some useful hints and tips. She even made further enquiries in her own time for which I am very grateful.
Elaine is very helpful. She responded quickly, kept me informed and helped to clarify information I had given her.
Elaine was awesome. Received almost instant replies, and she provided more information that I expected. One of our world's good people.
