It would probably help if I told you where the obituary index is:
<http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/vitalrecords/>
Most of the newspapers are available in the collections of the
Schenectady County Public Library or the Schenectady County Historical
Society. See "What Newspapers Are Included?" and "How May I Obtain
Copies?" at the top of each obituary page for more information about
specific dates and holding libraries.
