Old Fulton NY Postcard Website AND New York State Historical Photos & Newspapers.
www.fultonhistory.com

This is a wonderful, free resource not only if you're researching things in New York State, but anywhere including internationally. I've found an amazing variety of newspaper articles/references that have helped me a lot in my research.

The website began--and no I don't know the site owner nor is he paying me to shill for him--when one gentleman began selling postcards on a website back in 2000. He has since expanded and he's scanned over 50,000,000 newspaper pages. He adds thousands of pages monthly.

It takes awhile to get used to the site design and it's not intuitive in the beginning when you're learning to do searches. There are rare times when accessing the site is slow, but no more so than other sites.Those two things aside, what the person that started the website has done is amazing.

Somebody on this site started a thread a few days ago about a family member from England who was a ship's captain. He sailed in to New York Harbor in 1869 and that was the last time his wife in England heard from him. I did a simple search last night and pulled 69 records that mentioned her family member.

We have another thread that discussed fultonhistory.com - http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=580650.msg2652060#msg2652060  There is a link to a tutorial on that thread that may be helpful for people just starting to use the site.

Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn has a new burial search that includes biographical information for the deceased than wasn't in their prior database.  Right now, it covers burials from 1870-1897, but should expand to 1840-1937 in the future.

Thanks for the tip.  I sure hope they get those earlier burials online because the Brooklyn death certificates only go back to 1866 and I've got some people who were probably buried at Greenwood before that.

It looks as though 1892 isn't included within 1870-1897 at the moment, so hopefully will be added soon.  Good features on the search.
