Bonnie, Godfrey Library does have the Chicago Trib Historical Newspapers. I acess it frequently via Godfrey. Look under "newspapers/journals". Expand the folder & you should see it listed. In order to access it though you must 1st open fully "NewsBank US & World Newspapers (1,400 + titles)" then close it out & open up "IL Chicago Tribune Historical Archives" & search away. The Chicago & othe papers other than Historical Trib are located in Godfrey under "NewspaperARCHIVE.com (Heritage Microfilm)" Happy Hunting, Kathy -----Original Message----- From: cook-co-il-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cook-co-il-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Bonnie Sent: Friday, February 16, 2007 9:03 AM To: cook-co-il@rootsweb.com Subject: [COOK-CO-IL] where to access obits? I have run across a lot of names that I would like to find obits for, and wondered where is everybody getting access to the Tribune Obits? I thought it was the Godfrey Library, and found out, after paying my $35 that is not so. Is there someplace that I can do an on-line sign up and get access to the older obits in the Tribune? Bonnie
