Hi Perce. Wish I had known you were in USA before we started. Many years ago people did big obits with all their history and family but it seems to have died out around the 70's. Now we just have death notices unless it is someone famous. Also it was a death notice you were asking about not an obit. I think our Ryerson index is unique in the way it works as my cousin in Canada says they do not have anything like it. Sorry for all the problems. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Percival P.

Perce, what you have been given (and what you almost always get from the Ryerson Index) is a death notice, not an obituary. It is a paid classified advertisement, usually inserted by the next-of-kin of the deceased (often with the assistance of the funeral directors). There is no legal requirement to publish such a death notice, but it is done for probably the great majority of deaths. Often, the relatives will insert the notice in several newspapers if the deceased had been known in several areas. It used to be the case that a death notice would be inserted by the family and a funeral notice would be inserted, perhaps a day or two later, by the funeral directors. Probably due the increasing cost of classified advertising in the print media, these days the death and funeral notices are often combined, as in the case of your John Oscar. For the major city newspapers, obituaries (which are much more detailed and, as in your USA example, will often give quite a comprehensive life history of the deceased) are published only for people who were well-known in public life, eg, politics, commerce, the arts etc. In smaller rural newspapers, obituaries are more common and will generally be published for people who were known within that rural community. The Ryerson Index does include obituaries from a few of the country newspapers, but very rarely are obituaries from the major daily newspapers included. That is because it is designed as an index of death notices, not obituaries. If an obituary is likely to have been published, the researcher will need to go to a relevant library and search the relevant newspapers for a few weeks following the date of death. Hope this helps -- and if anyone in Australia has additions or corrections to any of what I've said, please feel free ... Lindsay Graham Canberra, Australia Percival P.

Depends what you mean by "legitimate". My guess is that it is of no value, so perhaps that makes it "illegitimate" -- there is a link to it from www.namessite.com.au, mentioned on GenANZ a few days ago. The general view was that namessite is of no value, in that all its data are freely available from other sources.

There are a great many volunteers who make this Ryerson index work. Many are indexers and others looker uppers. Some years data is on CDs ,which didnt happened by magic. Someone had to scan all these death notices and burn to CDs. Other looker uppers go to libraries and either transcribe the notice or save to a flashdrive which cost money and time and some times petrol ............... To find the right notice on a CD ,save it and send as a file attachment takes a little time and then find it bounces because of a munged email address make you wonder 'why bother' A donation from you could be an appeasement http://www.ryersonindex.org/ 3rd icon down gives info on how to donate Bye MargM Ryerson Volunteer SMH 1976 & Central Coast Express
