Preserving history one stone at a time
Northern New York Genealogy is dedicated to genealogy research, family history, and historical structures of Jefferson County, Lewis County, and St. Lawrence County in the Northern New York region. Portions of surrounding counties, such as Oswego County (Central New York) are included as information becomes available.
Our goal is to preserve the rich history of the north country of New York and to aid you in your family research. We hope to accomplish this by providing as much historical information as we can develop on Federal Census from 1810 - 1900, recording cemetery and burial information, family histories, and background studies on historical structures.
We sincerely hope you enjoy your stay and find the information beneficial. Requests for specific information, sources or errors please contact us via the Contact page.
You may want to return periodically as we are always on the search for new sources of information. The News page provides a list of projects underway as well as those that have been recently completed.
The information provided under each of the topics is under continuous review to catch errors and refine information as we develop better methods of interpreting and presenting the data.
Suggestions / comments on how to make this site more usable are greatly appreciated. Comments and suggestions can be forwarded using the Contact page.
