The Browning Genealogy Database is the lifetime work of Charles Browning, who
compiled the obituary records of Vanderburgh County and surrounding southwestern
Indiana from the Evansville newspapers: The Evansville Courier, The Evansville
Press, and now The Evansville Courier and Press.
Information on each deceased person
listed in the database includes fifteen categories, encompassing age, date of
death, survivors, funeral information, cemetery, occupation, and
activities. This attention to detail provides a vital community resource
and source for genealogical research.
The Irma and Paul Milstein Division of United States History, Local History and Genealogy is located in the The New York Public Library's Humanities and Social Sciences Library. The Milstein Division collects materials documenting American History on the national, state and local level, Genealogy, Heraldry, Personal and Family Names, and Flags. The Milstein Division bears the responsibility for maintaining the excellence of a body of materials that has traditionally been one of the strengths of The Research Libraries. The Astor Library's holdings of United States history on the national, state and local level were enriched by the acquisition of the George Bancroft Collection, purchased by the Lenox Library. Later significant additions were the Ford, Emmet and Myers Collections. Complementary holdings in the Rare Books and Manuscripts & Archives Division, the Print Room and other divisions of The Research Libraries enhance the resources of The Irma and Paul Milstein Division of United States History, Local History and Genealogy.
