Thanks, Sandy. Yes, I have the death certificates which is where I found the cemetery (lack of ) information. The funeral home does not exist and so far I haven't been able to find the records, but I haven't tried a real estate tax office and I don't really know what that is. I have not been able to find obits either, but I'll keep looking.

Deborah, Have you ordered death certificates as cemeteries can be listed on them, my other suggestion would be real estate tax office to see if the funeral home still exists and current owner they may have the records. There maybe a possibility of cremation also. Do you have the obits? It might be on them

I am looking for the burial place of Sarah Clyde, who died 19 July 1905 and her daughter, Minnie Berry, who died 21 December 1905. Both lived in Jersey City and the undertaker in both cases was Wm. H. Mead. Place of burial on both death records is recorded as "Bergen County." I've been calling and writing all the Bergen County cemeteries I can find with no luck so far. I think other Berrys and Clydes may be buried in the same place. If anyone has run into Wm. H. Mead records before and can offer suggestions, I would appreciate it.

I am searching for the burial location for Theodore Read (Reed/Reid) (1875-1918) and sons Peter (1910-1918) and Floyd (1908-1918). Last evidence for Theodore was a WW I Draft registration dated 12 Sept 1918 showing him living on Boyden Avenue in Hilton and working as a farmer for John H Van Ness at the same address. Family tradition has Theodore and sons all going with the Flu in 1918. Any leads appreciated. Keith

Thanks Sandy. I did check with the "family" cemetery. And that is how I obtained most of the death details I have. They were very helpful. Just looking for more...information that we would find on a death certificate or obituary perhaps. And I am looking into which church they attended at that time.

Have you contacted the local and state library? State archives should also have old newspapers. The county historial society and maybe even the NARA. Another idea would be check for church records. I have even emailed cemeteries and was surprised at what information they sent back.

Hi. I'm new to GenWise and therefore this group. I'm researching a George and Mary Ivanyo family who lived in Elizabeth, Union, New Jersey. I have found a few recent obituaries in the Star Ledger (their youngest son Stephen, and their son Joseph's wife, Helen and their daughter Rose). Unable to find anything prior to the past decade. I understand the paper used when my husband was young was the Elizabeth Daily Journal. I see it listed in the state historical society archives on microfilm, but not online. Any hints as to how to access obits from that paper from a distance? Or anyone aware of another source I'm not thinking of? I'm needing obits from 1932, the 1965, 1966, 1970, 1971, and 1997.

Marilyn: Thanks for the tip on the Bergen Record. Didn't know these obits were available for free. I love FREE!
