Its objective was to gather, publish, and conserve church records, tombstone inscriptions, and family records from western New York and eventually from all of New York State. This collection serves as a valuable source of information for researchers interested in family history from early New York State, referencing over 97,000 individuals who lived between 1760 and 1942.
