I sent an e-mail to the Library about the card file that contains 100,000 obituaries from Dubuque newspapers. I hope to get a good response. The Thomas Ryder I am looking for was a Major League Baseball player from 1884 (I am almost sure this is him). It is amazing how varied responses are in the genealogical area. Anywhere from pages of photocopies with obitauries and newspaper clippings for free to a $25 up front payment before any work is done. Personally, I do everything for free and except for a nominal fee would never pay anyone for this type of help.
