<< ... <snip> ... obituaries in Lockport NY - will the Lockport Union Sun & Journal provide copies of obituaries from years prior to 2000 or do I need to write to the Lockport Library and request their help? Is there another way to obtain copies of obituaries for Lockport? ... <snip> ... Kim Cornstubble email address: kcornstub@aol.com >> Hello Kim and everyone. Thought this might be useful for everyone so sending to the list. Hope this helps you, Kim! A great resource is the New York State Library. Below are some starting points to address the immediate question re: newspapers in Niagara County. However, take a look around the site.. and many hours can go sailing by! Here is the general info on the NYS Newspaper Project: http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/nysnp/ Then - you can check to see which are held at the NY State Library. (This is a good thing, since they can be ordered via ILL at your local library). http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/nysnp/nygcty.htm Going one step deeper - take at look at newspapers on microfilm at NYSL for Niagara County, NY... http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/nysnp/132.htm Note that you see exact years and months that are available. I'm creating a list to order myself right now.. comparing "what they have" with my "family death dates", so I can search for obituaries when the microfilms arrive here locally. Hope this helps!! debbie CAhobbies@aol.com
