Hello Family.....................It's Miltdaddy again..............
Need some help again............I only have the year my biological parents were born, dates but no location where they were born,
and an old address on my sisters original birth certificate....Since our records were sealed I requested non identifying and medical records from the New York Foundling Hospital........I always knew the name of the Hospital I was born but how do I go about obtaining the important information regarding my parents. The CSW was able to provide me with some information but due to
privacy laws she was unable to give me their address of exact D.O.B................Where do I go from here?????????

You might check a crossover directory(?), I think that's what it is called. I had read an article that each state has a main library that holds certain past public info. I checked in my school library where I might find a city directory for the year I was born and she made some calls and found out that our downtown library held those old books. (This is in a major city-you might have to check around in a smaller city) When I arrived, the librarian asked if I wanted to also check the crossover directories. I didn't know what those were, but she got it out for me. It is a directory listed by address. You look up the address and it gives who resided there the year it was published. If you can get that, you can use the city directories to look for those names in later years to possibly track where they moved. Our downtown library also had phone books from years ago, they could also be helpful incase you find a year the names are not listed in the city directory, you might find them in the phone books. Either way, if you can make use of a crossover directory just to get a name, that could possibly be useful for internet searches.
Good Luck!
