The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society’s (NYG&B) Church of the Transfiguration records are the newest, large-scale, searchable edition to their online collections. This ongoing project has been part of their Digitize New York initiative to preserve and make accessible at-risk historical records. The Church of the Transfiguration collection consists of tens of thousands of marriage records spanning nearly 200 years.
Marriage certificates and register books organized by year for the Episcopalian parish located at 1 East 29th Street, New York, NY. While both record types can be browsed by clicking on each year, the marriage certificates can also be searched using the search box.
On May 9, from 1 until 2 pm ET, NYG&B will host an online webinar “Debuting Church of the Transfiguration Marriage Records” on how to search this new collection and what’s coming next. This is a free event but registration here is required.
