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. -- Bob Sullivan Schenectady Digital History Archive <http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/> Schenectady County (NY) Public Library
