MITCHELL'S NEW YORK STORY
I was born and raised in Westchester County and now live in Queens. My family has been in New York City since the 1920s, when my great-grandparents immigrated from Ireland—my great-grandmother from County Leitrim and my great-grandfather from a nearby town in County Roscommon. They met on a subway platform, and not long after, they were married. As an Irish American with dual citizenship, I’m proud to call both New York and Ireland home.

ABOUT DIGITIZE NEW YORK
Your donation will support the NYG&B's statewide Digitize New York initiative to preserve at-risk historical records and make them freely available online.

Many record holders, including historical societies, churches, town hall offices, and others hold at-risk documents they are unable to digitize themselves. Through Digitize New York, organizations can either submit their records for preservation at one of the NYG&B’s Digitization Centers or request a digitization kit that empowers them to preserve and upload records at their own sites—at no cost to participating organizations.
