Hi Kim, Thanks for mentioning the sites you already checked! If you haven't subscribed to Rootsweb for CT. (or specific counties) yet, why not give that a try and see if anyone can help you that way. All of us on the Brooklyn and NYC list know about the "can't do without" sites... _www.stevemorse.org_ (http://www.stevemorse.org) , the Bklyn Info Pages, Brooklyn Eagle newspaper, and the IGG/GGG sites for NYC area info, but maybe CT. has similar important sites. One other thought... check out _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) for the following: 1. CT. Deaths & Burials - 1772-1934 2. New York, Kings County Estate Files, 1866-1923 Good luck with your search. Kathleen~CT. From: "Kim Formica" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 18, 2012 2:17 PM Subject: [BKLYN] Looking for help I am interested in finding a missing death record. John Joseph NOLAN was a singer sewing machine salesman who lived in Brooklyn, but would travel to CT to sell the machines. Sometime between 1885-1890, he had a terrible accident with his horse and was badly injured. We don't know if he died in CT or was brought back to NY to die. There doesn't appear to be a death record in any of the boroughs. We also cannot find a place of burial. I have searched through Brooklyn Eagle online, Fulton history and NYTimes archives to see if there articles relating to the accident. He was married and had 4 children. They all remained in Brooklyn and we know what became of all of them. Any suggestions on how to locate this?
