Thank you to all who further clarified how I could search for a particular newspaper AND a particular name at the same time on fultonhistory.com. Things are always so simple, once you know how to do something. Thanks to all those very smart and very helpful listers who shorten the learning curve for the rest of us...life would be more difficuly without you! Bless you!

FYI Fulton Postcards, a free search engine at http://fultonhistory.com, as more years of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle than the Eagle's direct site.

For example: Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle and Mulcahy Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle and Michael Mulcahy Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle and Michael and Mulcahy Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle and Michael w/2 Mulcahy Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle and Mulcahy or Mulvany (btw - I'd never searched sing OR before, so I tried it just now to see how it worked, and ended up ith the #1 result being an article that mentions my great-grandfather that 'd never seen before!) Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle 1880~~1920 and Mulcahy w/2 Michael Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle and Joseph E. Mulcahy and horse Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle and Joseph w/2 Mulcahy and horse I'm sure you could keep going, using as many search terms as you want, with and" between them. Hope this is helpful!

Back in 2001, a lister copied to the list such a klyn Standard Union 1922 notice. That's what gave me the idea. That notice was published 6 Oct 1922, it said the petition for dissolution as to be presented to the court on 29 Nov 1922, and the phrase "Dated, ew York September 29th, 1922" appeared at the end, just before the ttorney's name and address. At fultonhistory.com I've browsed several issues of the 1923 Bklyn Daily agle, and I've learned that divorce notices do not seem to be in a imilar place in every issue. Rather (and this makes sense), these and ome other notices seem to be inserted wherever the editor had space to ill. To speed up my search, I need ways to pinpoint more precisely the ublication dates to focus on. For my people's divorce, according to a certification from the King's Co. lerk: On 19 June 1923 the interlocutory decree of divorce was filed in the ing's Co. Clerk's Office. On 28 Sept 1923 the final decree of divorce was filed in that office. Here are my questions: 1. In a divorce process of that era, what kinds of notices about events, rior to or after the final decree, were published in newspapers, either y mandate or by custom? 2. Were there specific deadlines by which such notices had to be published? For the Standard Union notice, the notice was dated 6 days(29 Sept) before he publication date (6 Oct), and publication was 54 days before resentation of the petition to the court (29 Nov). Therefore the ttorney dated the notice two months before the court proceeding. I don't now whether a notice of the final decision was published. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.
