>I understand what all of you are saying, and I am sorry you seem to be >upset.  I thought this was a list to share information.  I guess for some we >should only share information that applies to them. Except Monica, this is a fairly specific list, reserved for obits and wills. You can go to the more generalized lists, like Limerick, Tipperary, etc, which are available for such a purpose as you describe. Alternatively, you can email the person off list to ask for lookups directly. Quite honestly, I am like James and Dennis--I come to this list to look at the obits, I use the county specific lists for the other stuff. Lately, I've looked at the subject line and simply deleted this list, rather than waste my time on something that is so VERY limited in scope as Dennis has pointed out. Cindy
