The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society (NYG&B or NYGBS) is a non-profit institution located at 36 West 44th Street in New York City. Founded in 1869, it is the second-oldest genealogical society in the United States, and the only statewide genealogical society in New York state. Its purpose is to collect and make available information on genealogy, biography, and history, particularly in relation to New Yorkers. The Society also publishes periodicals and books, conducts educational programs, maintains a Committee on Heraldry, and offers other services.

History

For nearly 400 years, New York has been known for the diversity of its people. Your ancestors may have been among the first Europeans or Africans who came to New Netherland, or the Native Americans who were already living here, or were part of the long stream of immigrants from all over the world who came in the subsequent years. The G&B is here to help you learn more about those ancestors and the world in which they lived.

In existence since 1869.
