  Searched for: THE GOOGLE SEARCH THAT [[feedback_google_search_for_modern_obituaries]] REQUIRES AND THAT HAD NEVER BEEN RUN ON HIM - he died (probably) on 8 October 2004, which is well inside the "from about 1995 on" bar. Run in the signed-in browser, not the search tool. Two queries, because the whole difficulty on this file is that the death-index row reads Ronald where every other source reads Roland: (a) "Roland W. Cooper" OR "Ronald W. Cooper" obituary 2004 New Jersey Sussex - both spellings, both quoted, so neither could be silently dropped; (b) "Ronald Cooper" obituary 2004 "New Jersey Herald" OR Newton OR Andover NJ - the looser one, naming the county paper and the two townships this family lived in. (link)

  Result: NULL ON BOTH, AND EVERY RETURNED HIT IS ACCOUNTED FOR. (a) Three results, none of them a person: two Radio Amateur Callbook scans listing a Ronald W Cooper of Tigard, Oregon, and a 2024 Jacksonville foreclosure notice against a Ronald W. Cooper II of Florida. (b) Ten results, every one a different man: a Ronald Cooper of Chico named as a brother in a Newton obituary, a Ronald Cooper of Wyckoff NJ named as a brother in a Wayne NJ funeral notice, a Ronald Cooper who moved to downtown Boston in a prep-school class note, Ronald Cooper Bahnsen of Newport, a 1974 service-magazine article, a Missouri assessor's roll, a Texas court docket, a Warwick research listing, and a Pennsylvania obituary whose subject was predeceased by a brother Ronald Cooper. None is in Sussex County and none died in 2004. SO THE 2004 DEATH-INDEX LEAD IS STILL UNTESTED BY ANY OBITUARY - Google now joins GenealogyBank (searched 2026-10-03, null) and Find a Grave in failing to find one. That is three engines, and it is beginning to be worth something: a man who died in New Jersey in 2004 with no web obituary, no memorial and no GenealogyBank notice is either not this man, or died without the kind of notice that leaves a trace. He matters more than most: he is the only known child of Roland Warren Cooper, a Gen-9 male-line Cooper, and whether the Warren Edgar branch carries a living Y-line past him is a [pr.14] question.
