Genealogists are our most popular researchers.  There are many record series that contain information of interest to genealogists - census records (1790-1925); naturalization records (1830-1992); birth, death and marriage records (1847-1883), (1908-1935); City of Kingston Directories (1873-1998); Pauper and Poorhouse Records (1823-1956); Ashokan Reservoir Records (1906-1958).  These series and more are described in detail in our publication Genealogical and Other Resources of the Ulster County Archives . For access to some of the above, search our records database.
