  Cindy R. asked:

  Where can I get (or search for) birth records in Buffalo prior to 1890 (1878 and 1880)? The NYS Dept of Health only goes back to 1914 in Buffalo. Vitalcheck only goes back to 1890 and the NYS Vital records index doesn't go back that far either.

  Renee V. asked:

  Where is the best place to search for a marriage record from 1918 or 1919 in Buffalo, NY? It would have been a Roman Catholic marriage.

  

  Jennifer R. replied:

  The City of Buffalo Inactive Records' Marriage Index is usually an excellent place to start, but unfortunately the public indexes are only available through 1907. [http://www.ci.buffalo.ny.us/Home/City_Departments/City_Clerk/RecordsManagement] Do you know which RC Church?

  Judy M. asked:

  I have a James Francis Murphy in my husband's family tree. He was born Feb. 2, 1895 and only lived a hour. They had a private baptism at St. Nicholas Catholic Church on Welker St. in Buffalo, NY. Rev. C. O'Byrne baptized him. Any ideas where I could find documentation. We weren't even aware of his existence until we found this notation in a small notebook in a box of photos. I would think there would still be birth, baptismal & death ceritficates!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  

  Jennifer R. replied:

  I would also suggest you try contacting the City of Buffalo's Inactive Records Center for possible copies of the birth and death certificate. Contact information can be found at https://www.ci.buffalo.ny.us/home/city_departments/city_clerk/recordsmanagement . Cost is $10.

  Sandy C. asked:

  I am searching for some information about my paternal grandmother was wondering if anyone can give me any ideas where to search. This is what I know. My dad, Alfred Grudniewski was born in Buffalo NY on October 28, 1920. His mom died at child birth from TB. The first 7 years of his life he spent in an orphanage, maybe went to live with my grandpa for a bit, but was raised by foster parents. My grandpa blamed my dad for her death. The birth certificate we had said mother unknown. When the 1920 census came out I found a name Jadwig Szymanska living in the same household has my grandpa and 3 siblings. A few years ago I was on Facebook and found my cousin Kathy, told her the story, she knew nothing my dad. I went to Buffalo and met her and the family. We tried to find out where Jadwig is buried so I could put flowers on her grave, but was not successful finding any death records. I did get a copy of my dad's original birth certificate and confirmed her name. Does anyone have any ideas where I can search?

  

  Jennifer R. replied:

  You said she died during childbirth. If he was born in the City of Buffalo on October 28, 1920, am I correct to assume she died as a result of TB complications on the same day? If so, have you tried requesting a copy of her death certificate from the City of Buffalo Inactive Records & Research Facility [https://www.ci.buffalo.ny.us/home/city_departments/city_clerk/recordsmanagement]? The cost for a genealogical copy is $10, and the document should list place of burial.
