For Birth, Marriage and Death information for NY State please read this ...


from The Onondaga County Public Library (OCPL)

"OCPL will do limited lookups - a 5-year span on births, deaths and marriages. Questions are answered in order and often may take several days. Please be aware that many fiche are difficult to read, and while staff tries to be as accurate as possible any information stated is as it appears.

The index begins in 1880 and while NY State passed a law that year requiring the filing of these records, they still weren't uniformly or consistently filed until well into the 1900's ..."

"The Local History/Genealogy Department of the Onondaga County Public Library (OCPL) in Syracuse has one of the eight sets of the microfiche indexes to Births, Deaths and Marriages, that cover the largest part of Upstate New York.

Librarian, Holly Sammons, at OCPL has made the offer to do the actual look-ups for distant patrons. This is just one of the marvelous services that this most excellent facility has to offer."

" ... will chat with patrons by telephone, through email or will even take requests by U.S. Mail..."

... information as written by Dick Hillenbrand on his blog.

Holly Sammons will be able to confirm the Date of Death and give you the location of death. Then you can order the death certificate from Buffalo or from the Vital Records Dept. in Albany. Hopefully, on Minnie Traub Sauerwein's Death Certificate, you'll find her parents' full names and where they were from ... and also the birthplace of Minnie herself. When I have emailed her I usually hear back from her within 24 hours. Even though the library is located in Syracuse, this vital record microfiche covers all of upstate NY that they have in their possession.

Phillip Sauerwein may have died in 1880 right before the Census was taken. The microfiche they have begins in 1880. It is worth it to ask.

There was a NY State census for the year 1855. It would be worth it to look and see if the Traub sisters were living in Erie County. That particular census is the only one which gives detailed birthplace information. That census is held at the county level - usually at the County Clerk's office, or the Family History Library, run by the Mormons, have the NY State Census microfilms.

Best of luck!

Kathleen
