Gravesend BIRTH INDEX
These are births from the original ledger books of Gravesend. Please Note: Where a section is empty there was NO info recorded. Where a SURNAME is written between ( ) it denotes the name was NOT recorded, but transcribed to allowed easier researching. Info is transcribed as ledgers are recorded. If you see the names the same but spelling differs, it is as recorded. On Race: Most of the time whites are NOT recorded. When they are W = White C = colored NOTE: Sometimes it is also written 'black' or 'negro'. I have chosen to keep it simple and list all these as C. They include the areas of: Gravesend Gravesend Beach Gravesend Neck Gravesend Village Coney Island Unionville Sheeps Head Bay Greenfield South Greenfield Bensonhurst South Bensonhurst Woodlawn As with all transcriptions, there is always a margin of error.
