Seeking Obituary
« on: Monday 08 July 24 11:00 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I am hoping for direction as to where I would locate a 1977 Obituary.
It is for a Dora Louise Portanova (nee Bevan) who died 21 Oct 1977 at Long Island City, Queens. Dora was buried with her husband Rocco Portanova in Long Island National Cemetery. I am hoping to find some named siblings in her obituary.
Many thanks

Thank you Sandra, would you believe I just found that a while ago.
I’m very keen to find if any of Doras siblings were listed. I know she had sisters Lillian and Mary Susan plus a brother named John B.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks amondg.

I have the census up to 1950.
To date I now have Lillian married a Hubert Glover and lived in New York. No idea if Mary Susan or Susie as she was later known married.
 It’s possible John may have died in a sleding accident in Glen Cove in 1920.
These ancestry trails are never ending😀
