 * Starting Points:**


 * 1) Runkle Library Online Resources & Catalog**
 * Go To: Biography Resource Center


 * 2) Obituaries** (if your person is not alive)
 * Once you have a date of death, along with an accurate full name, you can look for actual obituaries in online newspaper archives.


 * New York Times Archives
 * Archives from 1851 - 1922 AND 1987-present are free of charge. Everything in between (1923 to 1986) you have to pay for, for some odd reason.


 * Google News
 * Used the advanced search feature to make sure you zero in on the exact dates for the obituary you're looking for.


 * Google - "Firstname Lastname Obituary"
