Does the historians office have records of births, deaths and marriages in the 20th (1900s) or 21st (2000s) centuries?
No, the responsibility of keeping the records of births, deaths or marriages belongs to the Town Clerk. New York State sets the price for a copy of a birth, death or marriage certificate. Elizabeth Neville is our Town Clerk. You can call her office at 631.765.1801. Or write to: Southold Town Clerk, Southold Town Hall, P.O. Box 1179, Southold, N.Y. 11971. Please give them as much information as you can. If you have reason to think the person you are interested in might have been born in Greenport, our only incorporated village, you should contact Village Hall at 236 Third Street , Greenport, N.Y. 11944 or call 631.477.2391 and ask for the Village Clerks office. Just as in Southold Town, the State of New York sets the rate for copies of records of vital statistics like births, deaths and marriages.
