Obituaries If the deceased resided in one of the parts of the County served by Alameda County Library, we will try to locate an obituary for you by checking our local papers. *The parts of the County we cover are: Albany, Castro Valley, Dublin, Fremont, Newark, San Lorenzo,* *Union City and other unincorporated areas. *Please note our newspaper holdings listed above to see which areas are covered by each.
