Looking to trace your roots in Westchester? Check out the county’s Archives and the county’s Virtual Archives. Or take a virtual stroll on the African American Heritage Trail. Other resources are on our county History page. In additon, there are private agencies that can help out as well.
The Virtual Archives brings together the best examples of government and private records. We have estate records, minutes from government meetings from years past, Census records, newspaper articles, photos, diaries, letters, and more.
The Westchester County Genealogical Society brings together people interested in tracing their ancestry. On these pages, members can study methods of genealogical research and exchange information helpful in their search for family roots. Any person — either amateur or professional — interested in genealogy or related topics is welcome to join WCGS.
The stories about the people and events that have shaped Westchester’s rich history come alive at the Westchester County Historical Society. The society’s Web site has links to local historical societies as well as to genealogical resources.
