ROPERTY  CONVEYANCES

City Register's office is located at the following office:

City Register's Office, Brooklyn 
Municipal Building, Room 2 (between Court & Adams Streets) 
210 Joralemon Street 
Brooklyn, NY 11201 
(718) 802-3590 
Open Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm 

For older conveyance records, you need to go to a room on the second floor.  
The older Libers are all on microfilm.  

It is helpful to show up at the Register's office armed with the 
Liber information (Liber# and page #); 
This information is available from a microfilmed index of 
property conveyances which I looked at at the N.Y.G.& B. Library 
(also available from Salt Lake). 
As a I remember it, the index was arranged alphabetically by year, 
and opposite the name and date, the Liber # was indicated.

You may need to allocate a few hours to go through multiple Libers.  
This is a very busy office, so you may need to wait while the clerk 
pulls the various microfilms for you; there are limited film 
readers with printers, etc. 
 
It is very crowded at lunchtime - maybe early in the 
day would be better.  But, old property records can be well worth the time - 
I found some very interesting records relating to transfers made by my 
greatgreatgrandfather in 1885-1887.

Good luck!
