Specific Liber and Reel Numbers?


I’m a life long Brooklynite now out in Ohio. I’m writing a novel in which a character does research at the Brooklyn Register.

I was wondering whether anyone could tell me what microfilm reel and liber, deeds for 1895 and 1876 would be located on?

I tried but couldn’t find a phone number to call the Register directly. A phone number for the Register in Brooklyn, particularly the microfilm room would be great also.

I’d appreciate any help anyone can give. Thanks!

Researching Ownership Records at Brookyn Register


I lived in Brooklyn most of my life, but am now out in Cleveland. I’m working on a book and was wondering whether someone could answer some quick specific questions about materials at the Brooklyn Register in the Municipal Building.

1. How are the bound indexes organized and for what years are they available?

2. How are the microfilms organized? Is there one libre per reel, a month, a year etc.?

3. How far back do the bound libre books go before you have to look at them on micofilm?

I did try calling the Register, but didn’t get anywhere talking to them. I appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thank you.
