Research Trips with the NYG&B
Our research tours are an ideal setting for both those beginning their genealogy search and those seeking answers to longstanding New York questions. Registration includes a pre-consultation with a professional genealogist and lectures to prepare you for the on-site guidance offered throughout the program. Register early, as a limited number of spaces are available for each tour and often sell out quickly.

For each Heritage Tour, the NYG&B partners with on-site experts to provide an eclectic mix of private tours, educational events, and sightseeing.
