Sooner or later, all researchers encounter the sad fact that a
massive fire destroyed a crucial piece of evidence in their
family history.
Almost everyone knows about the 1921 Washington, D.C. fire that
destroyed much of the 1890 Federal Census, and those of us with
ancestors who served in the military are probably aware that a
1973 fire in St. Louis destroyed between 16 and 18 million
Official Military Personnel Records.
But did you know that New York State has its own infamous fire?"
