Hello All......... Some years ago I extracted a series of obituaries from The Irish-American newspaper....they are viewable at the URL below: http://www.nycgen.com/irishobits1.htm I accessed this newspaper (a weekly, by the way) at the New York Public Library on 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue......They have the paper on microfilm, but they do not participate in interlibrary loan......I believe that the New York State Library has some of the films for loan, however---not sure if they have the whole run, though... It should be noted that this newspaper seemed to "skip" posting obituaries for years at a time......that is what I recall, anyway......then, all of a sudden a bunch of obits would be published over a period of time. I have no idea why they followed this practice, but apparently they did! It's a tough paper to read, and the obits were often scattered in all different parts of the paper, so one really has to visually "scan" every page of an issue to make sure that nothing is missed...... Perhaps someday I will continue the project, if time ever permits........
