Although I am not sure exactly what information you want from the newspaper look-up, another source of information which might be helpful would be the index cards/book of records that is kept by the office of Vale Cemetery. I do remember reading (perhaps on this list??) that the office keeps the records and would let you have the info that they have on an individual. Perhaps if you wrote to them they could provide you with more information. They sometimes have birthdate, next of kin/informant, and cause of death, etc. Certainly worth a try, I would think. I would enclose a self addressed stamped envelope (which would encourage a reply!) in the request, as I don't think that they charge a fee. Vale Cemetery 907 State St. Schenectady, NY 12304 I am not sure of the zip code, but it should get it there anyway, as it is a Schenectady zipcode. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "David Cripps" <dcripps@iprimus.com.au> Reply-To: NYSCHENE-L@rootsweb.com To: NYSCHENE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NYSCHENE] Locating some newspaper obituarys Date: Sat, 9 Aug 2003 13:23:36 +1000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: from lists2.rootsweb.com ([207.40.200.39]) by mc7-f14.law1.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600); Fri, 8 Aug 2003 20:23:59 -0700 Received: (from slist@localhost)by lists2.rootsweb.com (8.12.8/8.12.8) id h793NRC6013958;Fri, 8 Aug 2003 21:23:27 -0600 X-Message-Info: vAu4ZEtdRigLaEiTQQBlDFllFf5O1Jj7 Resent-Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2003 21:23:27 -0600 X-Original-Sender: dcripps@iprimus.com.au Fri Aug 8 21:23:27 2003 Old-To: <NYSCHENE-L@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <000501c35e25$9fa816e0$78ea32d2@xp1600> X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.4510 Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1165 X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by lists2.rootsweb.com id h793NRke013926 Resent-Message-ID: <XU0VbD.A.0ZD.vkGN_@lists2.rootsweb.com> Resent-From: NYSCHENE-L@rootsweb.com X-Mailing-List: <NYSCHENE-L@rootsweb.com> archive/latest/591 X-Loop: NYSCHENE-L@rootsweb.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: NYSCHENE-L-request@rootsweb.com Return-Path: NYSCHENE-L-request@rootsweb.com X-OriginalArrivalTime: 09 Aug 2003 03:23:59.0530 (UTC) FILETIME=[AC6050A0:01C35E25] I've come to grinding halt on some of my descendants who lived in and around the Schenectady area, but I have narrowed down 2 people who were buried at Vale Cemetery. I have the accurate dates of death & Interment for these two people, and I wondered if it'd be possible to ask some kind person for a newspaper lookup? The dates for burial in both cases are: Charlotte A ALLEN, buried 10th April 1920 Sandra Elaine LONG, buried 16th Sep 1949. Even the smallest article would tell me more than I know now<g>.
