Vital records in New York State weren't recorded by the state until 1880. For early vital records you have to either find church records or hope that the event is recorded in the newspaper. For the time period of this page, there were four newspapers published in Rochester:
Note that some of the films have been heavily scratched and some pages are out of focus so there are some illegible records.
The records on this page are extracted as published in the newspaper. Small monthly calendars are included to help when a newspaper record states that an event happened "last week Thursday."
You may wonder about birth records. Except for a few rare birth notices, birth records were not published until the mid twentieth century.
Two abbreviations that appear frequently in these old records are; inst. and ult. Their meanings are inst. = instant, an old word meaning this month and ult. = ultimo meaning last month.
