The obituaries in my local newspaper seem to be tripled from earlier years, but then again I don't have any way to prove it.... but seeing LOTS more deaths IMHO.
The best source for info on death is the state's Vital Records, since all people who die don't turn up in the obits section. Interesting, but New York has a 2-year+ lag on publicly posting this info. For more recent information for "research purposes," someone has to do a data request to NYS and NYC.

I really have no idea how to do that. How do I find this way back machine? I do have an online and paper subscription and have for some time.
Let me know how to do this and I will do the research.
I use an online obituary site for my entire province. I can search by year. Should be able to find something similar in your area.
