This information was sent to me by a research acquaintance & I thought it could be useful to others - It does work! Annette http://www.geocities.com/annettega_1999/ - --------------------------- USING INTERNET CALENDARS               Although I was excited to receive copies of my ancestors' newspaper obituaries,               I kept running into a small obstacle: I was given the newspaper date (the date               the obituary was printed), but not the actual date of death. The text would                 read: "Sylvia Walker died Saturday afternoon at her home," or "Mrs. Bettie               Warfield, age 49, died of heart failure early Tuesday morning." Since I didn't               know the day of the week the newspaper printed the obituary, I was unable to               extract an exact date of death; consequently, I was unable to request a copy of               the certified death certificate from the Office of Vital Statistics (which could               lead to further ancestral info, such as parents' names). Then I discovered a               10,000-year calendar on the Internet. I plug in the newspaper date--say,               4/14/1913, a calendar is generated on-screen, and then I can see what Tuesday               date preceded the newspaper date--the actual date of death I needed! I'm sure               there are other such online calendars, but this one works just great for me:                  http://www.calendarhome.com/tyc/
