Journey to His Past

The Grand Rapids Public Library has 3 x 5 cards filed alphabetically by last name in an old card catalog file.  These surname card files have been a wealth of information for Kirk's Grand Rapids roots.   The information that I found for Corcoran, Timothy F. is a funeral notice.  In addition to the funeral notice being on the card, they put the name of the newspaper and date of publication.  I have found this to be a very useful source to check.  If you have Grand Rapids and surrounding area research to do, I recommend checking out this resource at the Main Grand Rapids Public Library on Level 4.
