More New York land records have been indexed! 🌳

Thanks to the many volunteers who helped index New York’s land records, a new, enhanced index is now available!

This is a free-to-use, enhanced index for FamilySearch’s digital collection, "New York, Land Records, 1630-1975." The original scans—capturing over 32 million land transactions in all—come from 59 of New York’s 62 counties (Franklin, Nassau, and Queens excluded) and were first microfilmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah, a precursor to FamilySearch. The collection includes a range of property documents: deeds, mortgages, patents, and land grants. https://www.newyorkfamilyhistory.org/online-records/land-records
