You know the location and the dates. You can go on line and see if the NY State Library has microfilms of newspapers for that (or those)localities for the time periods in which you are interested. See directions below. Good hunting. Cliff Hayes New York State Public Library Newspaper Collection The New York State Public Library in Albany, New York has a vast collection of the newspapers published in the State going back into the 1800s or further. You can reach it's Web Site at http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/. I believe you can read the index of papers and dates that they have in the collection, listed by County and, within county, by locality. These are available through interlibrary loan through your own local library. I understand that this service is free to New York State residents; for others there is a nominal fee. There is some question about whether or not this service applies outside NY State. I suggest you go to the web site and see for yourself. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Dufek" <dufek@theriver.com> To: <NYOTSEGO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2006 8:06 PM Subject: [NYOTSEGO] Carr family of Unadilla (Eunice Carr married Zabina Bacon - early 1800s) >I am seeking information on the Carr family of Unadilla, specifically a > Eunice Carr, who married Zabina Bacon, the son of Ebenezer Bacon.
