This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. We run a private reference service and cannot retrieve records, certify a copy, verify a current household, or change a government database. Send a record request to the office responsible for that series. For an emergency, call 911. If someone is stalking or harassing you, contact local law enforcement.
Finding the Right Record Office
These are the quickest routes for common Rome record questions:
- Property or a street: use the Rome street directory for the assessor, parcel, tax-roll, and deed sequence
- Older volumes and household history: begin with the Rome city directory collections
- A careful one-name check: use the Rome resident lookup route
- Office routing: see the Rome resident record custodians list
- A record missing online: direct a narrow New York Freedom of Information Law request to the custodian identified for that series
