Most libraries have the local newspapers on microfilm. I just don't know if the microfilm will go that far back. Last time I used them it cost me $5.00 per notice. Also there might not be a notice published. So I would try a church that you might think your relatives attended. Church records will give you some information. The Bridgeport Library has a website: www.bridgeportpubliclibrary.org. Or you can write to them at: Bridgeport Public Library 925 Broad Street Bridgeport, CT 06604-4871 203-576-7403
