I’m definitely going to check it out. My family was in Brooklyn until 1920 at least, so there is definitely a gap at where the PBL site ends. I’ve been trying to find a death notice for between 1910 and 1920, and then 1925 I hope. I’d be interested in seeing other NYC papers also, because other branches of my family were there.

Thanks so much!

They have all the Brooklyn Eagles from the time period covered by the Brooklyn Public Library, but also . . . well, for a long time after that. I’m not sure exactly how far, but I know I’ve used it for death notices through the 40s, at least. The site also has many other public domain NYS newspapers, including other NYC papers. The search function is not NEARLY as easy to use (or as pretty) as the one at the PBL’s site (and they don’t highlight your search terms, but using CTRL+F helps), but I find that in using both, sometimes one finds things that the other doesn’t, and vice versa. I don’t know what dates your family was in Brooklyn, but I found Fulton History very useful for mine, since they stayed well past the period that the PBL Daily Eagle project covers.
