See the newspaper list for specific coverage.

Unless otherwise stated, this index includes all obituaries and death notices (labeled DN) in the newspaper. It also includes citations to related articles. Entries without page numbers generally indicate obituaries posted to the newspaper's Web site.

The form of the index is as follows: last name, first name, maiden name in parentheses if we can verify it, newspaper code, date and page, death date if known and notes. Entries from Thomas Reimer's index to Schenectady German-language newspapers also include a column number. Entries from the New York State Department of Health Genealogical Research Death Index (marked "DOH") do not have an obituary date; see the newspaper list for more information.

Total citations to date: 220,600, including 54,828 added entries for maiden names, plus 177,731 entries from the NYS DOH index for a total of 398,331.

In order to minimize the confusion caused by variant spellings and spacing, the normal sorting order has been modified. Names are filed without regard to case, spacing or punctuation, Mac and Mc are filed together as Mac, and names beginning with St. are under Saint.
