NYC Vital Records at risk of being made inaccesible

The NEHGS recently notified its members that New York City was considering blocking access to vital records. The NEHGS and other family history organizations sent out petitions to be signed in protest of the NYC actions. Responses were overwhelmingly against the NYC proposal. The following is a link to the results of the initial hearings. Several other family history organizations joined forces with NEHGS's effort. The link below offers an update on the hearings.
