See PARTITIONED search engine to search just sections
of the site. -- Below
Use the Drop Down Windowto
search selected areas of site for Obituaries and other slected information
These represent directories in the site's structure. Clipping section
includes scrapbooks of obituaries, marriages, gossip, etc. It also includes
new obits where the cemetery is not identified. The Obit by cemetery pages
are by county BUT obits may be on an obit by cemetery page OR in the Clipping
- scrapbook section. Check both. Also remember that people are often buried
in a different county than the one in which they lived or died. Another
point to be aware of is that some of the very small cemeteries that have
few obits will have the obits on the cemetery listing page. They will be
missed by this partitioned search of just the obituary directories. They
will show up on the search which covers the entire site or the burials.
If you do not click the drop down list, you will think
this is just the same form of the search engine we have had for several
years. It is NOT - It is a major enhancement of its utility which I will
develop further depending on positive feedback I do or do not get. At this
point it partitions the obituaries and cemetery listings only. While obits
are added daily, the search engine in not reindexed that frequently. Added
obituaries will only register when the search engine is reindexed.
Here is an IMPORTANT tip - If you use a DATE restriction
in your search, be aware that refers to the date I last changed a particular
page - It is a file date, NOT a date for an event.

Stan Vanderlaan SRAC member and member of NYS Archaeology Stanley
Vanderlaan of Albion, NY presents two sites that he worked on over decades
of his life. The Arc site which is a Paleo site (12 - 15,000 yrs old) represents
a time when man still hunted the great beasts such as the woolly mammoth.
Artifacts will be on display from this hugely important site. The BTC (Buffalo
Tournament) site is a much later site that was discovered when work began
for a golf course in the town of Lancaster in Erie County, NY. In the end,
this site was 4.5 acres, yet amazingly, no human remains were ever encountered.
Admission: Adults $3, Students and SRAC members $2.Doors open at 1pm and
admission to the exhibit hall filled with thousands of local Native American
artifacts is included in the admission price.

| BRADFORD COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY RESEARCH
LIBRARY CLOSED UNTIL APRIL
At the Board of Trustees meeting on Saturday, February 7, the Board decided to close the Research Library at the Bradford County Historical Society, citing the high cost of heating the very large building. It is with regret that the Board made this decision, but with tight budgets and the high cost of heating the building, they felt there was no other way to conserve funds. Watch for the Museum opening and the reopening of the Research Library in the Spring. We thank you for your understanding and ongoing support. For more information, go to the BCHS Curator's Blog at www.bradfordcurator.blogspot.com. Matthew T. Carl

Your Tri-Counties site is terrific, and often the best source for obscure pictures and information about the small towns that dot Tioga & Bradford Counties.
PennDOT has historic county maps online here:

Joyce,
I also remembered an additional source of historic maps that would also include NY: http://historical.mytopo.com/
For example, here’s a 1902 map showing Lawrence Twp. in Tioga County and others south:
