What Newspapers Are Included? | How May I Obtain Copies?
This index covers the Schenectady Daily Gazette for July 1899 to September 8, 1899, 1902, 1993 to June 1995, December 2005 to July 2, 2006, January 2008 to May 7, 2008, March 2010 to August 19, 2011 and Jan 1, 2013 to April 25, 2013, as well as other Schenectady papers for various periods dating back to 1803 and regional papers (covering the counties of Fulton, Hamilton, Montgomery, Saratoga, Schoharie, Warren and Washington) beginning in 2005-6 through May 16, 2013. See the newspaper list for specific coverage.
Unless otherwise stated, this index includes all obituaries and death notices (labeled DN) in the newspaper. It also includes citations to related articles. Entries without page numbers generally indicate obituaries posted to the newspaper's Web site; articles from those papers are not included.
The form of the index is as follows: last name, first name, maiden name in parentheses if we can verify it, newspaper code, date and page, death date if known and notes. Entries from Thomas Reimer's index to Schenectady German-language newspapers also include a column number.
Total citations to date: 100,232, including 22,850 added entries for maiden names.
In order to minimize the confusion caused by variant spellings and spacing, the normal sorting order has been modified. Names are filed without regard to case, spacing or punctuation, Mac and Mc are filed together as Mac, and names beginning with St. are under Saint.
