Looking for new volunteers to take part in the Newswatch Project full details of what is involved can be found here http://one-name.org/members/newswatch.html . If you go to this site it will give you the names of the current papers being researched and what is invovled It is not very time consuming it takes me about 10 minutes a week to check the Surrey Mirror and then forward on to the member. It can be any type on newspaper local daily or even magazine or company newspapers. Members who have gained from marriage challenges may find this a way of repaying other members. If you have any further question feel free to contact me Jim Isard newswatch@one-name.org

If you'd like to search newspapers yourself, you can go to www.legacy.com, which claims you can search from millions of obits from more than 1,500 newspapers worldwide. I can only find the following countries: Australia, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, England, New Zealand, N. Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Scotland and U.S. You can search all records, countries or regions at one time for the last 24 hrs up to all records. And you can search using first and last name or just surname.

I believe the coverage for UK is poor. I tried Smith obituaries for any county within the last 2 weeks and there were only two hits, both for the same person. Better results are to be expected from the Guild's Newswatch Project. But the Legacy site is excellent for USA and Canada obituaries.

Hello Jill, This is an excellent site. AND you can set searches for names and places and it will send you an email when there is a new entry. I have alerts set for my one name of DATE variant of DATES, my own surname, and the town I grew up in. I have gained quite a few names from this. It is free.
