I am not a professional genealogist, and have no access to censuses, city directories, etc. I live in Wallingford, CT, not NYC and do not have access to any of the resources in the City. 2. The lists and articles I post are from copies that I make at our local public library. We have the NY Times on film, NO OTHER NY NEWSPAPERS are in our library. 3. The lists are of death notices, not obituaries, in the Times. Occaisonally, there will be an obituary on my list and I will make a notation that indicates it is an obituary. However, about 99% of the names on my lists from death notices which have very limited information. The average person might have a paid death notice in the NY Times, but probably a "small" death notice which reads like "JONES, William, 100 Main St, Jan 1, 1915. Funeral tomorrow 9 a.m." If you are trying to find an obituary, I would suggest you try a local paper. 4. I am most familiar with the Bronx and don't know anything about Brooklyn, Staten Island, Long Island or Queens. My knowledge of Westchester County is also somewhat limited, mostly to Yonkers.
