Hello All I was hoping someone could help me by looking up my grandfathers obituary. He died in Ft. Smith Arkansas on 8/3/1958. His name was Robert Nelson Davies. He was buried at home in Akron Ohio but I could not find an obit for him in Ohio. Also, would I request a death certificate from Arkansas where he died? Thank you for considering my request and Happy Holidays to all. Heidi High

Hello Lists, Just to let everyone know, I am changing from homepage.com (too many problems and they are about to stop homepages) to 50megs.com. So far, all is looking brighter than most Christmas Lights. However, I still am having problems with DFTCOM2 (family tree) working on the new site (same as the old though, won't load) and I have to correct my address with all the links I have. The links to other sites work fine though and the old photos and obits seem to be loading quicker. I will work on the tree over the holidays. I may have to go back to GED2WWW for the tree, but it is about an 86 page upload with our tree size. Also, the Patterson and Shelburne, Nova Scotia portions of the tree have grown and I am awaiting snail mail of records. I am very excited about that though! Our old address: http://patterson.family.homepage.com our new address: http://pattersonfamily.50megs.com or <A HREF="http://pattersonfamily.50megs.com">Patterson Family Page</A> Happy Holidays to all and I hope to hear feedback and suggestions from all. Especially on my tree problem! Sincerely, Donna Patterson IttyBkShp@aol.com

>From now until after the holidays, an abbreviated version of the obits will be published. If you find an obit that you would like the full obituary, feel free to email me. I will be happy to send it.
