Funeral Notice Sent to Mr & Mrs Frank Gillette of New YorkFuneral cards are an overlooked free genealogical resource. They often contain both the Birth date and Death date and can be used as a substitute for birth and death records ( Vital Records ). Now from a technical point of view they are not a true substitute for vital records. But it's a good place to start. If you interested in what things qualify as a true Vital Records there is a good article at the Olive Tree. Unfortunately these valuable resources are scattered and there has not been a single repository for this valuable resource until now. It is my hope to create the best funeral card database on the net.

Funeral Notice Sent to Mr & Mrs Frank Gillette of New YorkThis card, like many old postal items, catches a bit of history and profound human experience over the years. Address to Mr & Mrs Frank Gillette, East Main Street, Penn Lane, N.Y. [I think is is Penn Yan, Yates Co. NY] it simply reads on the back:"Mar. 21, 1913 Mother died this morning Funeral at Penn Lan, Monday, Mar. 24, at 2:30 PM 214 Wagner St. Ernest Chapman." There is no postmark or indication that the card was ever actually mailed.
