Just curious - where is all this information? Is it at the Genealogy Library? How are they indexed? By date, name? Ellen In a message dated 6/18/2011 4:56:01 P.M.

They STILL are dedicated on our behalf to indexing and holding every single obituary in the Pensacola News Journal. It takes a long time sitting at the computer and filing the actual obituaries, not to mention storing them and retrieving them when requested. Requests come in all the time, too. Our locals may not use their services, but out-of-towners do. There were two this past week. One week there were 5! I myself have had to have them dig out obits for me! Since they are not on the WFGS List, I was hoping some of you would drop them an e-mail to express appreciation for their efforts. They are in their late 70's, so by no means elderly, but to dedicate their time to something like this is just special. Email: Carolyn Reedy indigo5@cox.net Curtis Reedy astro75@cox.net Thanks ahead of time for your time in thanking them.

I hope it helps you and Carolyn to know how very much your efforts are appreciated to all researchers. Wish more of them would show it, whether by donation, e-mail, or mail. It is so nice to be appreciated. You can mail the check to: WFGS Treasurer PO Box 947 Pensacola, FL 32591-0947 Thank you so much for being such great emissaries for WFGS!!! If I'm thinking correctly, you and Carolyn have been indexing and storing the hard copy of obituaries since 1994. It is truly a dedication the likes of which I have never seen.

All of the indexes are "housed" on the Escambia County FL GenWeb, Inc. web site at: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~flwfgs/escambiacountyfl/index.htm Page down and look under "Vitals, Obituaries." For each year, Carolyn and/or Curtis are listed as the point of contact, should a researcher need an obituary. A huge job, thank you Carolyn & Curtis!!!!! Thanks for asking, Ellen!
