Is it true that the birth index in albany only contains birth certificates that have been on file for 75 years? I'm confused because I've heard that the birth index in NYC has info for all years in NYC but only for those born in NYC. I was born in upstate NY but don't know where to go for info. Does anyone know?

The Mormon Centers have the New York City birth index on microfilm only up to and including 1965. If your were born in NYC after 1965, the LDS Centers cannot get you that film. Hopefully later years will be included on microfilm soon! The NYPL in Manhattan has the original birth indexes up through 1985. I believe that later years are available to the public as that group of people all turn 18.
For years 1965 and before, you can find the exact film # that you need before you even go there to inquire. I am searching 1963 now for my cousin who has just decided to search.

Could someone please explain to me why birth indexes exist in some areas of NY State, but not others?? I was born in Buffalo, NY - would there be a birth index for the year 1968 in that area? Does anyone know for certain?
I got so excited after reading about the methods of searching in the NYC indexes but became quite disappointed when someone said these birth indexes are not public in some parts of the state.
Any iinfo. will be appreciated. Thanks.
I saw your post and had to respond. I am searching for my birth sister. Her birth name was Melissa Ann Thompson. Her DOB is June 15, 1970. Please email me back and let me know if this rings a bell. Thank you so much.
Good luck with your search.

Actually, NYC is the only place that has the birth indexes These cover anyone born in the 5 boroughs of NY city.
Now you DON'T need your surname or birthname. That is why many go there to search... to find out there birth name. All you need to know is your birth certificate number... last 5 digits and the borough where you were born. Gina
