I am new to the group so excuse me if you already know this... Tampa Hillsborough Public library system has an Obit index on line and searchable. to reach it use www.hcplc.org, click on the "library catalog" button in the upper right hand corner, go to TRAILS and the THOR. the directions are there for accessing the index..once you get the information, the library has these papers on microfilm. i belive they will make copies for a fee. good luck!..cynthia t
