Ancestry/Genealogy
Related: About this forumWant to learn my mother's birth, marriage and death dates; she died when I was 7 or 8,
Dad remarried several years later and brother Billy and I were adopted; NYS 'obliterated' name/existence of birth-mother on my/our 'new' birth certificates (after adoption.)
Will 'ancestry' places include facts about my birth mother, in spite of NYState's practice? and which of several 'ancestry' places better (and less expensive) than others?
Thanks

That should include her birth date and possibly the names of her parents too.
And they probably have a record of her marriage certificate too.
Some of my ancestors lived in New York back in the 1600's when it was a colony, so I've never looked up those kinds of records there myself. But they surely have all of those types of records going back to at least the early 1900's like many other states.
