Great point, Mark, but that's not a definitive predictor. Often a site lists the newspaper you're looking for, but doesn't have the years you need. I still rely on my volumes of Maher's "Index to Marriages and Deaths in the New York Herald" [favored by Irish], but that ends in 1876. The value of any subscription will depend on whether the company has digitized the newspapers you are interested in. Before subscribing, check to see which newspapers it has available.

Today is St. Brigid’s Day, and also the first day of spring, according to the ancient Celtic calendar. St. Brigid was born in what is today County Louth circa 451, and she died in County Kildare in 525. Barb MizScarlettNY@aol.com
A special thank you to MizScarlet. As I quietly sit with winds whipping around non-sunny San Diego, I marvel at you great knowledge and generosity. Thank you for sharing the wonderful information to help so many on the list. Bless you. Pauline
Good news, my maternal grandparents are buried in Gate of Heaven, along with some of my grandfather's siblings.

There was a public forum last Friday about the horse drawn carriage industry. A city council member felt that City Council Bill 573-A did not clarify *why* this 150 year old tradition of horse drawn carriages, should be diminished in size. This industry employees predominant Irish-Americans. Mayor di Blasio tends to advocate for urban immigrants, which is what makes this issue even more confusing. You never had a more romantic date than one that was capped by a hansom carriage ride through Central Park. A given. Back to today, NYC history, our Irish immigrants, and the impact on today....If you'd like to know more about the latest negotiations, please read here>>> http://www.irishcentral.com/news/irishvoice/NYC-Council-meeting-leaves-horse-and-carriage-reps-asking-questions.html Barb MizScarlettNY@aol.com

Manhattan has its Restaurant Row, but Westchester has "Cemetery Row!" Our ancestors certainly had foresight when they plotted the farmland landscape for the county's largest cemeteries. As you travel north from the Town of North White Plains, along Bronx River Parkway, to the Taconic State Parkway, you reach Valhalla then Hawthorne.* Metro North Railroad's Harlem Line has stations in all three towns. Proximity to trains was certainly a consideration for this master plan. And, it's super convenient to those of us who perform gravestone photography. These are the cemeteries in Cemetery Row. Gate of Heaven---RC, inception 1916 [usurped old Fairview Cemetery] 10 West Stevens Ave. Hawthorne, NY 10532-2205 914-769-3673 Kensico Cemetery---Non-sect; inception 1889 273 Lakeview Avenue Valhalla, NY 10595 Toll free 1-888-KENSICO (536-7426) Mount Eden Cemetery---Jewish; inception 1927 20 Commerce St, Hawthorne, NY 10532 914-769-0603 Mount Pleasant Cemetery---Jewish; inception 1889 80 Commernce Street Hawthorne, NY 914-769-0397 Sharon Gardens---Jewish; inception 1953; maintained by Kensico 273 Lakeview Avenue Valhalla, NY 10595 Toll free: 1-888-KENSICO (536-7426) [closed Saturdays] * Hawthorne NY was named after American author, Nathaniel Hawthorne. His daughter Rose converted to Catholicism and began Rosary Hill, a cancer hospice in Hawthorne NY. Barb MizScarlettNY@aol.com
If you cannot locate a pre-1916 burial cemetery for a loved one, this is for you. When Gate of Heaven Cemetery opened (1916; Catholic), their grounds usurped the old Fairview Cemetery (non-sectarian). Fairview deaths are definitely in section 36, and perhaps adjacent areas. (MAP: http://gateofheavenny.com/pdf/Gate-of-Heaven-Cemetery-Map.pdf) Gate of Heaven is the only NY Archdiocesan cemetery in Westchester County NY. St. Raymond's is the only NY Archdiocesan cemetery in Bronx County NY. Fairview Cemetery is not listed in Find A Grave's 236 county cemeteries, nor is it listed in Westchester Gen Web. Gate of Heaven is digitizing its burials. Staff and I experimented with death dates to determine if Fairview burials appear in their database yet. We did get hits for as far back as 1910 and I noticed some Jewish names were found that year. This tells me that Gate of Heaven is incorporating its early Fairview Cemetery records into their database. Sharon Gardens,Valhalla NY is in the same area, but didn't begin serving only Jewish residents until 1953. Sharon Gardens is a section of the non-sectarian Kensico Cemetery, Valhalla, NY (non-sectarian, opened 1889). In conclusion, if you have Jewish ancestors who died in Westchester or Bronx counties pre 1953, check Kensico Cemetery first. If your Jewish and non-Catholic ancestors died before 1916, check with with Gate of Heaven and ask them to search Fairview Cemetery records. You just might find that missing ancestor's burial.

Thanks to GenealogyInTime online magazine: http://www.genealogyintime.com/ The Indiana State Library continues to add more digitized newspapers to their Hoosier State Chronicles website. The collection now contains over 100,000 issues and some 780,000 pages from many small-town newspapers across Indiana. The website has advanced search features, which allow users to perform full text search by publication name and date range. Access is free. https://newspapers.library.in.gov/ FamilySearch.org has created a new collection of Alaska vital records. These are birth, marriage, death and divorce records that span the years from 1816 to 1959. About 57,000 records have been indexed and put online, with more expected to become available. So far, most are marriage and death certificates from the 1900s. The records in this collection can be searched by first name and last name. This is the first time we have seen early Alaska vital records go online. Access is free. https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2216300 -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com nymets22@gmail.com
