It seems to be missing. How can I get it back?<br />JannAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-86911318363771448532011-08-16T17:13:04.490-07:002011-08-16T17:13:04.490-07:00Thanks for another hot tip, Randy.

I'll have to try Apple and Katie's suggestions to refine my searches, as our family name is way too common in New York State.Jim's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03158792309730805894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-41577284045811470292011-08-16T14:25:46.231-07:002011-08-16T14:25:46.231-07:00This is one of the best sites I've come across...This is one of the best sites I've come across for my NY research. You CAN limit the results by date range - use [date]~~[date]. For example, if I were searching the Brooklyn Daily Eagle for a death notice for John Mulvaney, who died in 1911, but may have had probate action in 1912, I would select "Boolean" and use the string <br /><br />Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle 1911~~1912 and John Mulvaney<br /><br />It works just as well if you're searching without limiting to a particular paper - if I wanted to see if John Mulvaney's death were mentioned in any other paper (as it's after 1898, it should be listed in the NYTimes, as well), I would use <br /><br />1911~~1912 and John MulvaneyKathleen O'Harahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998207528481554149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-79789975665906354282011-08-16T09:49:26.833-07:002011-08-16T09:49:26.833-07:00I love this site. Now that you have written about ...I love this site. Now that you have written about it I'm certain that it will be slower than usual. My suggestion is to search at off times.<br /><br />Use the FAQ link at the top for tips on searching. I have had very limited success trying to search by date but great sucess searching a particular paper.<br /><br />If you click on "View Fulton Historical Photos" (at the bottom, between "Page Me" and "Zoom In") you will see all the other goodies available on the site. While there is much about Fulton, NY there are things from other locations too.<br /><br />Clicking on the box "Old New York Historical Newspapers" will take you to a list of all of the newspapers currently available. The pages shown at the very end of page 4 are available for browsing but should not show up in searches until after the next update. Note the name of the paper and any misspelling for boolean searches.<br /><br />I know that the Lowell, MA Courier has come up in my searches as has a paper from California but I don't remember which one. I couldn't find either listed in the index.Charley "Apple" Grabowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249noreply@blogger.com
