WAYNE COUNTY, NY BIRTHS - 1847

TOWN OF GALEN

The typescript of the list of births that took place in the Town of Galen, Wayne County NY in 1847 was provided to us by the Wayne County Historian's Office. This is the only Wayne County 1847 birth list that we're now aware of. If you have questions about persons on this list, or about the availability of other town lists for this year, please save yourself time by not emailing this site's coordinators (who don't know), and directly contacting the County Historian's Office. If you do recognize anyone on this list, please drop a line to either of the site coordinators listed on the front page of this site, so your information can be noted with their listing.

As you scan the listings you'll see unusual spellings. They're not typos we've made but can be attributed to the original typist's interpretation of old handwriting, or assumptions made by the registrars of the births. If a spelling differs from that of your ancestral surname, or births didn't take place in the townships you thought your ancestors were from, don't pass them by. Jot them down...just in case. A date and location can be used to search in the 1850 census or the info may turn out useful to others searching your surnames.

During years 1847 - 1850 some New York State counties officially recorded information about births, marriages and deaths. Then they just stopped. Not all counties preserved this early information so each county must be taken on a case-by-case basis in making inquiries of societies. Required birth registration didn't start in New York State until 1880, over 30 years after the 1847 - 1850 events were recorded, and wasn't really enforced until 1900. New York State death registration wasn't required until just after 1900. Marriage certificates were issued in the 1860s but kept by the couple and written down by the person performing the marriage.
