Many people subscribe to The Godfrey Memorial Library and from this site can search the New York Times 1851-2001. So I suggest you post the person's name with the date 1890 and see what people can find. If you are interested in more info on Godfrey the site is www.godfrey.org Good luck -----Original Message----- From: Jane Schneeloch [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 5:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Rensselaer] Lawyer Index? I know that someone who is likely a relative was a lawyer in New York City in 1890. Is there any index of lawyers from that time? Is there any other way I could find out about him? Jane Schneeloch
