Jim, I capitalized. I tried it with surname first, and first name. I've tried first name, space surname and I even tried a few people I'm not looking for but who died in the correct time frame, and I still get nothing. Do I need to give more information? I also tried just a last name to see if that would bring up all the obit for that last name and still nothing. I tried two women that I knew had died in the right time frame with different spelling of the last name, but got nothing. I tried a child whom I knew her exact death date, and did not get anything. Perhaps I can chalk it up to the facty that all the people I'm looking for in FT. Wayne did not have their obit in the paper. Oh, well.
