Yes, The Syracuse Obits are online for only a period of 6 months, and a 15 year archive that one must pay to get the article in full. Another option is to ask someone near Syracuse to locate the obit in at the library person in Syracuse and email or snail mail it to you. However, the Newsbank American Obituaries and Death Notices have the Syracuse Newspapers online since 1986, full obituaries once you do a search. Plus the Obituaries and Death notices have access to over 250 newspapers around the United States. Here's a link for the description. http://www.newsbank.com/public/obit.html Contact your local library for them to subscribe to Newsbank's American Obituaries and Death Notices. You'll be glad you did, and since it will be (hopefully) through your local library, just use your Library card to access it for free. Ask your Library to get this resources and include it in the Remote Access Databases that is currently available. Then you can research your Obits at home, 24 hours a day. In a previous email to the Onondaga County Rootsweb list I asked people to send a letter in support of the Onondaga County Public Library to add the Newsbank's American Obituaries and Death Notices resource, as well as obtaining Heritage Quest Online to compliment the Ancestry.com that they got about a year ago or so. Please write a letter to: Ms. Mary Fran Floreck Executive Director of the Onondaga County Public Library 447 So. Salina Street Syracuse, NY 13202. Thanks Anne Ruggeri Brewerton, NY
