Greetings from Kalamazoo! I have two questions that someone in the Morris County can help answer. What newspaper in the county is most likely to carry obituaries in the last 20 years or so for deaths in the Marcella area? And what library in the area is most likely to be able to provide me with those obituaries? You help is most appreciated.

The following link gives you a listing of the various libraries and the newspapers that they hold. http://www.gti.net/main/papers.html Newspaper obits for the last 20 years would probably appear in the Daily Record, or the Daily Advance. The Dover Library is the only library that has a copy of the Daily Advance on microfilm, not even the historical society has a copy. This microfilm is not indexed. The Morristown library (Joint Free Library) is your best bet as far as finding an obit. They have an ongoing indexing project for various newspapers. From their website: http://www.jfpl.org/gene.htm "The Genealogy & Local History Department has compiled indexes to our collection of the Genius of Liberty, the Palladium of Liberty, and the Jerseyman, 1849-1919. Indexing of death notices from local newspapers has been an on-going project in our department for many years. As of now we have completed those for 1798-1919, 1959-present. A printed, geographic index of articles from the Daily Record from 1993 is an on-going department project." "We answer specific queries by mail. We will check through sources that have an index and copy pertinent information for you. However, we can allocate only up to one hour of research time per letter, and our staff members are librarians, not genealogists or genealogical searchers. There is a minimum fee of $5.00 that covers copies and other library costs. For complicated research we send a list of local genealogists who will conduct professional research for clients."
