George Miller LAMONT

I found on the Ryerson Newspaper Index a notice of George Miller LAMONT's obituary in the Sydney Morning Herald on 1 June, 1896.  What do I do to get a copy of the obit?

Hi NorthSeattlesearch and welcome to Rootschat.  

Ryerson has a facility on their website for look-ups.  I can have a look for you later in the week when I go to the National Library but it won't be till later in the week.  Try Ryerson as well.

Hi Terry.  I don't have anyone there that I know of with the initials M. A.  George is my guy's brother.  The person I'm actually looking for is Sydney Russell LAMONT, born 19 Jan, 1859 in Sydney, NSW, Australia.  Since I have had no success finding Sydney, I thought I'd give his brother a try, and have possibly found an obit.  I just need to know what is the next step to actually seeing the obit.

Hi Judith.  Thank you for the information about the next steps.  I just joined RootsChat today, and I appreciate your welcome as well.  I see someone else has posted a link to the article which I just downloaded.

Thanks again!

Merlin, you have chosen your name well!  Of course at this point, I don't know for sure if this George LAMONT is MY George LAMONT, but it's a wonderful start where an hour ago I felt as though I was at a dead-end.  I spent 6 hours at the Seattle Public Library yesterday and got absolutely no where.

Thank you, Thank you!
