Question:

Where can i find obituaries from the years 1764-1775?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: An obituary is a death notice that is placed in a newspaper and since the time period that your looking for probably only covered notable deaths I doubt that you will be able to locate an obituary but you may be able to find death records at a local courthouse or a local parish church. Check familysearch.org which is free and has helped me considerably for ideas about where to begin your search. For instance, you find that your ancestor died in St. John's Parish in Maryland then you can search for records at the church (usually the Episcopal church in Maryland at that time) and you can look at the courthouse for records that may have been stored there. Good luck.
