She has been a &quot;boots on the ground&quot; researcher for a long time and very involved in various efforts to collect information on the pre-Revolutionary War population of Long Island, I gather. So when I brought up &quot;mystery&quot; grandmother she looked in her own database and said she had a mention of a &quot;Nancy&quot; of the right surname whose death was published in a Suffolk County newspaper on a particular day of 1845. And she told me how to find that paper online - nyshistoricnewspapers.org.</p><p><br /></p><p>Knowing exactly what day to look for saved a lot of time! And the article, though brief, gave enough details to know that she was definitely the right person![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
