The Northern New York Library Network (the equivalent of MidYork for that region) has scanned many of the newspapers from Plattsburgh down to Glens falls and West to Watertown. There is pretty regular coverage from 1880's to the early 1970's with less regular coverage as early as 1810. It's a great source for births/weddings/obits. It's worth taking a shot at searching for your Central New York names as there may have had business dealings or more distant relatives throughout the state. You often find little blurbs like "John Smith is visiting relatives in Utica" or "John Smith of Utica is in town on business." The site is http://news.nnyln.net. It would be great to have the same thing done through MidYork. I suspect we could drum up some volunteers to do the scanning. Maybe we can wheedle the Rome Sentinel and Utica OD into ponying up their archives in the process. Mike
