Any tips on how to best research an adoption record in NYC.?  My grandfather Henry ABRAMS was born 1888 0r 89.  He was adopted by Rachel LEVINE ABRAMS and Barnet ABRAMS.  In 30 some years I've had no luck finding information.  It is also possible Henry was adopted my his birth mother's sister, but I have no proof.  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Now is the time! Last year adoption records became public in NY state.

I requested records in January. Dont know status because NY Govt offices were closed do to Covid. Be prepareed for a long wait.

Hello, Connie,
DNA testing might help sort out relatives. It would be great if you, and some of the Levines and Abrams all got tested, then upload to GEDmatch.

If you want help, let me know.
